He was a man of considerable education, and though in neither force nor astuteness was he the equal of James Peake, it often pleased him to adopt towards his friend a philosophic pose the pose of a seer, of one far removed from the trivial disputes in which the colliery-owner was frequently concerned. "Yes, you will, Peake," he repeated. "I shanna', Sneyd." "I can read you like a book, Peake."
