Forrester said. "I'd take it as a deadly insult if you went anywhere else. I " He suddenly remembered Faith and turned to her. "My wife will be delighted to welcome you, I'm sure," he said rather formally. "Mrs. Forrester has been most kind," Digby said. He slapped his friend on the back again heartily. "Lucky dog! All the good things of life fall your way." The Beggar Man laughed.
"No, I'm not," I said flatly. "If there's any trouble brewing, Hawkins, consider me back in New York. What has excited you?" "Excited me?

Perhaps you hate me too, now that I've told you as much?" "Hate you, Jack? While life lasts I could never do that!
