The sense that he was alone now for the first time in his life with the man whom he had so long hated infuriated Davray. "Fit? Let me tell you this, old cock, I'm twice as fit to be here as you're ever likely to be. Though I have been drinking and letting myself go, I'm fitter to be here than you are, you stuck-up, pompous fool." Brandon did not stir. "Go home!" he said; "go home!
"Hullo! we're nearly home.... Well...good afternoon, Mr. Davray." "Come into the Cathedral for a moment," Davray seemed to be urgent about this. "Have you ever been up into the King Harry Tower? I bet you haven't." "King Harry Tower?..." Falk stared at the man. What did the fellow want him to do? Go into the Cathedral? Well, why not?
"I think you would do well to listen to what I am going to tell you." He raised his head and looked at her. At those words of hers he had once again the sensation of being pushed down by strong heavy hands into some deep mire where he must have company with filthy crawling animals Hogg, Davray, and now this woman.... "What do you mean?" he asked, disgust thickening his voice.
"You should feel ashamed, sir," he said quietly, standing still where be was, "to be in that condition in this building. Or are you too drunk to know where you are?" "That's all right, Archdeacon," Davray said, laughing. "Of course I'm drunk. I generally am and that's my affair. But I'm not so drunk as not to know where I am and not to know who you are and what's happened to you.
"'Tis a bit difficult with the winding stair." The two men went forward into the black darkness, leaving the dusky light behind them. Davray led the way and Falk followed, feeling with his arms the black walls on either side of him, knocking with his legs against the steps above him. Here there was utter darkness and no sound.
"You're Canon Ronder, are you not?" "Yes, I am." "My name's Davray. You probably heard of me as a drunkard who hangs about the town doing no good. I'm quite sure you don't want to speak to me or know me, but in here, where it's so quiet and so beautiful, one may know people whom it wouldn't be nice to know outside." Ronder looked at him.
