With a sudden kindly emotion Niebeldingk regarded the terrible avenger in horror of whom he had lived four mortal days. He told him to stretch his poor old legs and asked him whether he'd like a glass of Madeira. The old gentleman's face brightened. If it would surely give no trouble he would take the liberty of accepting. Niebeldingk rang and John entered with a grand inquisitorial air.

It might have been that I was over-bold in pressing my suit upon you again; but as you accepted it, have I not a right to expect that you should show me that you have been happy in accepting it?"
