But Doe, though his whole nature moved him to be a picturesque High Churchman, yet, because he wanted Monty to think well of him, drew up abruptly at the prospect of a detailed confession. "You'll never get me to come to confession," he laughed, "never never never." "My dear Gazelle, don't be silly," rejoined Monty. "I'll have you within the week." "You won't!" "I will!
