Now that time the day had waxed very hot, for it was come high noontide, so presently Sir Turquine cried out: "Stay thee, Sir Launcelot, for I have a boon to ask!" At this Sir Launcelot stayed his hand and said: "What is it thou hast to ask, Sir Knight?"
"The fight that you made yesterday, too, was splendid, and I have entered the details of it in my own private diary, because they ought not to be forgotten." Now it was Foy's turn to bow, while even on Martin's grim and impassive countenance flickered a faint smile. "Naturally," went on Ramiro, "I wish to save such men, I wish you to go hence quite free and unharmed," and he paused.
"I can sit nae langer, Mr Mellis," returned Miss Horn. "I hae eneuch to gang upo' as lang 's I hae my ain flure aneth my feet: the wuman has nae business there. I'll jist slip across an' gang in, as quaiet as a sowl intill a boady; but I s' warran' I s' mak a din afore I come oot again!" With a grim diagonal nod she left the room.

He answered, it has always seemed to me very lamely, that if we didn't believe that all was for the best, in this best of all worlds, we should never get anywhere. All for the best! If we are to forgive the Power that sets him on, why not the murderer himself who does the real dirty work? In short we can do no wrong in this best of worlds.
