"Yes," she admitted, "the impossible happened to him, as it usually does in books. And then, circumstances helped.
She looks like a Holbein doesn't she?" "And the extraordinary looking man on my right?" Honora asked. "I've got to talk to him presently." "Chiltern!" he said. "Is it possible you haven't heard something about Hugh Chiltern?" "Is it such lamentable ignorance?" she asked. "That depends upon one's point of view," he replied. "He's always been a sort of a well, Viking," said Farwell.
"Withdraw it?" "Yes, sir, withdraw it. As far as I can learn, without asking any question which would have committed myself or the young lady, you have not acted upon it. You have not yet done what you there threaten to do. In that you have been very wise, and there can be no difficulty in your withdrawing the letter."

"Nobody but Chiltern would have brought one in, you mean," he corrected her. "He sailed her.
