"Is it a new insult that you mean by this, sir?" exclaimed Rossitur in astonishment. Thorn's cigar did not stir. "Neither new nor old. I mean simply that I have changed my mind." "But this is very extraordinary!" said Rossitur. "What reason do you give?" "I give none, sir." "In that case," said Capt. Beebee, "perhaps Mr.
"But," said Rossitur, "pardon me, have you no regard to the effect of his misrepresentations?" "You are mistaken, Mr. Rossitur," said Carleton, slightly, "this is but the blast of a bellows not the simoon." "Then what answer shall I have the honour of carrying back to my friend?" said Captain Beebee, after a sort of astounded pause of a few minutes. "None, of my sending, Sir."
If one cuts off from this space that part which lies south of a line drawn eastward from the Beebee Ross Ghât to the Upper Circular Road the northern portion thus segregated being the native town one has a veritable city of palaces; and when to these one adds the magnificent suburbs lying beyond the old circumvallation of the "Mahratta Ditch" Chitpore, Nundenbagh, Bobar, Simla, Sealdah, Entally, Ballygunge, Bhovaneepore, Allypore, Kidderpore together with the riverward-sloping lawns and stately mansions of "Garden Reach" on the sea-side of town, and the great dockyards and warehouses of the right bank of the river opposite the city, one has enclosed a space which may probably vie with any similar one in the world for the appearances and the realities of wealth within it.

"I have already disclaimed that, Mr. Rossitur." "Are we, on mature deliberation, considered unworthy of the honour you so condescendingly awarded to us yesterday?" "My reasons have nothing to do with you, Sir, nor with your friend; they are entirely personal to myself." "Mr. Carleton must be aware," said Captain Beebee, "that his conduct, if unexplained, will bear a very strange construction."
"I'm glad it wasn't as bad as all that," said Geoffrey, coming to his wife's rescue; "would that have been the worst that could possibly happen?" "The very worst," Lady Cynthia answered. "Professor Beebee teaches something or other to the Japanese, and he and Mrs. Beebee have lived in Japan for the last forty years.
Carleton," said Rossitur, "that you did not mean to offend us yesterday, in what you said?" "No, Mr. Rossitur." "You will not!" cried the Captain. "No Sir; for your friends had given me, as I conceived, just cause of displeasure; and I was, and am, careless of offending those who have done so." "You consider yourself aggrieved, then, in the first place?" said Beebee. "I have said so, Sir."
"But," said Rossitur, "pardon me, have you no regard to the effect of his misrepresentations?"
