"Among the minor seats of the nobility Blent is considered a very perfect example," she heard Sloyd say to the Major, who was unobtrusively but steadily urging him in the direction of the landau.

That makes it worse. How did I come to make you do it?" "I don't know," he said again. "Well, you seemed so in your place at Blent. Somehow you made me feel an interloper. And " He paused a moment.
