'The devil, he cried, holding his glass to the light, 'this wine has got muddy, on my hands. Don't you see?
Humfrey, by a curious coincidence, turned out though I did not know it until many months after to be the brother-in-law of my school-friend William Lindop! Never shall I forget that summer evening near Brandhoek. Roake, effervescing as always with droll wit, and Humfrey, with his natural cheerfulness and affability, made me at home in their little hut at once.
