Then all at once I KNEW! I couldn't tell you what the effect was. There you were again I was as much obliged to tell you as I should have been if I'd found you at Braemarnie when I got there that night. Conventions had nothing to do with it. It would not have mattered even if you'd obviously thought I was a fool. You might have thought so, you know." "No, I mightn't," answered Robin.
"Have the kindness to ring the bell," said the old gentleman. "I have done my best, and said my say; and I'm a dev'lish old fellow. And and it don't matter. And and Shakspeare was right and Cardinal Wolsey begad 'and had I but served my God as I've served you' yes, on my knees, by Jove, to my own nephew I mightn't have been Good night, sir, you needn't trouble yourself to call again."

"You haven't even thought of me since," she was moved to reply in the same spirit. "Haven't I?" he exclaimed. "I wondered, when I came up here to Hampton, whether I mightn't meet you and here you are! Doesn't that prove it?"

Consider this I give it up to you. I am ashamed to have kept Carlyle so long, but I quite failed in trying to read him at my "usual pace he won't be read quick.

He's good enough, I dare say. H'm! I wonder, now, if the Inspector down on the river mightn't have some little scrap of a job in my line. He's a man with plenty of money, is the Inspector."
