"Thy wits seem touched, poor stranger; doubtless thou hast suffered privations and rude buffetings at the world's hands; thy looks and dress betoken it. Whom dost thou take me to be?" "Take thee? Prithee for whom else than whom thou art? I take thee to be Hugh Hendon," said Miles, sharply. The other continued, in the same soft tone "And whom dost thou imagine thyself to be?"
