Could it be possible that he had friends there old cronies to whom he might venture to appeal for shelter, and protection? men of his own kidney to whom he could confide his secret?

He could not confide to Ferrers what had passed between him and Valerie. Lumley was too hard for a confidant in matters where the heart was at all concerned.
