I know she did in London while it lasted. What's she doing? There was a chap called Duplessis, I remember."

"She kept him dangling " he had begun.
"In that case," said Billy, "he is the chap we met tearing along to the railway station, as if all the furies were loose at his heels. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, nor, for that matter, in front of him; and our dog-cart had to take to the path! So he did not see two old comrades, nor did he hear their hail.
"Wish you'd dine with me some evening at my club"; and, as Ralph murmured a vague acceptance: "How's that boy of yours, by the way?" Moffatt continued. "He was a stunning chap last time I saw him. Excuse me if I've put my foot in it; but I understood you kept him with you...? Yes: that's what I thought.... Well, so long."
He looks like what I expected to see. What a fine, big chap he is, isn't he?" Then, as she studied the distant horseman, a puzzled expression came over her face. "Why, Kitty!" she said in a low tone, so that the men who were talking did not hear.
And Markham lifted Dickie to the window. As she did so she kissed him. "Cheer-oh, old chap!" she said. "I'm sorry I was so short. An' you do want to get out of it, don't you?" "No error," said Dickie; "an' I'll never split about him selling the vegetables and things."

I had got up and was pacing back and forward on the sand. I remember kicking savagely at a bit of water-soaked board that lay in my way. "Very handsome as large as you are, but fair, and even more erect."
"Well," said I, unabashed, "if you saw me trying to be a younger son and likely to forget myself and do something without meaning to, wouldn't you be apt to warn me?"
