"We have learned from Mr. Stephen that John and Jeffrey, though very different in appearance in later years, were much alike as young men.
Here Thorndyke smiled mischievously I understood the meaning of that smile later in the evening and asked: "What do you think of the affair yourself?" "I have given it up," I answered.
