The result was that, a week after, Casti received an invitation to call on Waymark, at the latter's lodgings in Walcot Square, Kennington. He arrived on a Saturday evening, just after eight o'clock. The house he sought proved to be one of very modest appearance; small, apparently not too clean, generally uninviting. But a decent-looking woman opened the door, and said that Mr.
"Now, look here, Waymark," cried O'Gree, rising in indignation from his seat. "Look here, Mr. Casti. The one drop of bitterness in our cup is pickles; the one thing that threatens to poison our happiness is pickles. We're always being asked for pickles; just as if the people knew about it, and came on purpose!" "Knew About what?" asked Waymark, in astonishment. "Why, that we mayn't sell 'em!
That heaviness and tendency to absent brooding which not long ago seemed to indicate the tightening grip of age, was disappearing; he was once more active and loud and full of his old interests. "How's Casti?" Mr. Woodstock went on to ask. "A good deal better, I think, but shaky. Of course things will be as bad as ever when his wife comes out of the hospital."

On various parts of the portal are numerous inscriptions, some of which, like the following, are in leonine verses: 'Casti pacifici mites pietatis amici Sic stant gaudentes securi nil metuentes. The archaeological interest of Conques is not confined to its church.
"You will believe me," he went on quickly, "when I tell you that I really said nothing more?" "I never doubt a word of yours," was Ida's quiet reply. "Casti was overjoyed at the thought of finding such a friend for his wife. Of course I told him that he must not certainly count either on your consent or on his wife's. Hers I thought to be perhaps more doubtful than yours."
Why didn't he meet me as he promised?" Abraham hesitated, but speedily made up his mind that it would be best to speak the truth. "I know as little as you do. He ought to have come to me yesterday, but he didn't, and I can't discover him. I got Mr. Casti to meet you instead." The keenest trouble manifested itself on Ida's countenance.
