Then as the bond-servant turned sharply and looked at her, she became conscious that she was colouring. "I wish there was no such thing as a blush," she moaned to herself, a wish in which no one seeing Miss Meredith would have joined. "'T was not from Mr. Evatt," denied the servant. Without time for thought, Janice blurted out, "Then 't is from you?" and the groom nodded his head.
Janice longed to ask more questions, but did not dare, and as the bottle passed, the conversation became general, permitting her to become a listener.

We'll shave, make a dandy of ourselves, old man " Then the servant paused "and, like a fool, be recognised by some fellow like Clowes what does he here? but for my beard, and that he'd scarce expect to meet Charles " Fownes checked himself, scowling. "Charles Nothing, a poor son of a gun of a bond-servant. Have done with such idiot schemes, man," he admonished.

The summons was answered by a bond-servant, a coarse-clad and dull-featured piece of humanity, who, after ascertaining that his master was the applicant, undid the door, and held a flaring pineknot torch to light him in.
