"On my honor," I said, "I think it hardly possible. The ink has faded to the same degree." She made a rapid comparison and folded the letter with a gesture of assent. "It may have been written by an enemy," I went on, wishing to clear myself of any appearance of malice. She shook her head. "He was barely fifteen and his father was on the side of the government.
There was no need of parchments and seals, of attestations, explanations, and professions. The bargain was understood between them, and Mr. Slope gave the bishop his hand upon it.
