I want everything done within the year." Linforth laughed. He knew very well the impulsiveness of his friend. "If a few miles, or even a few furlongs, stand to my credit at the end, I shall not think that I have failed." They were both young, and they talked with the bright and simple faith in their ideals which is the great gift of youth.
He showed the way to the lift, switched off the electric light he had turned on in the passage, and ascended with his visitor to his rooms. There his companion, with an impulsiveness which contrasted with the detective's quiet composure, again spoke: "I want your assistance, Mr. Colwyn."
These experiences had left an indelible impress upon Alice, whose confiding sincerity and generous impulsiveness always must bear effects of the shock, but that tableau and recital revealed a tragic craft foreign to such a nature, bordering the verge of madness.

Where he had been sincere, erring only from impulsiveness, she had been double-minded and calculating; and, now that her delusion had been broken down, she had nothing to rest upon.
