Who is Marcus Martius, Caius, and who is Marcia?" "Marcus Martius," I said, "is a local landowner like the rest of us.
"Then the name belies my Lily; as you will see." The children now finished their feast and betook themselves to dancing, in an alley smoothed for a croquet-ground and to the sound of a violin played by the old grandfather of one of the party. While Mrs.
Charles was my old schoolfellow, a little boy when I and Darrell were in the sixth form; and, pardon me, when I add, that if that gentleman were ever Charles Haughton's particular friend, he could scarcely have been a very wise one.
