Do you hear me? I hate you. What do I care if you are a snob, and a cad, and a fortune-hunter, and a forger, and well, I don't care! Perhaps you haven't ever forged anything yet, but I'm quite sure you would if you ever got an opportunity. You'd be delighted to do it. Yes, you would you're just the sort of man who revels in crime. I love you! Why, that's the best joke I've heard for a long time.

But withal a certain stubbornly resistant quality in me asserted that there would be a downward step for me, though not for Ted, or for any of my fellow orphans, in taking to the road; that the step might prove irrevocable, and that I ought not to take it.

Of course I had done the wise, as well as the self-respecting, thing; I soon saw that Lady Ogram thought all the better of me because I was not exactly a snob."
