"I'm sober enough to see you've got a fine pair of headlights." "I'm afraid you're of rather a coming-on disposition, Pomfret." "Oh, I can do my thirty-five. His licence will show you that. "Oh, Pomfret, did you get it endorsed?" "It was his own fault. Kept egging me on all the time, and then, when we were stopped, tells the police that it's a physical impossibility for me to do more than fifteen.
All you can depend on is the quick coming-on of final ruin and dismay: of all impossibilities, the most impossible is to imagine Mark Anthony capable of averting it. As to Caesar's heir, so nominated in the will the persona from whom busy Anthony has virtually stolen the estate, no one gives him a thought. Seeing who he was, it would be absurd to do so.

The wind moaned in the trees and sighed in the chimney, and now and again the blazing logs on the hearth hissed as drops fell on them from above. "There is a good fire in the signorino's dressing-room, I hope.
During the next few weeks, Larcher saw much of Mr. Turl. The Kenbys, living under the same roof, saw even more of him. It was thus inevitable that Edna Hill should be added to his list of new acquaintances. She declared him "nice," and was not above trying to make Larcher a little jealous. But Turl, beyond the amiability which he had for everybody, was not of a coming-on disposition.
