"When the fete is over, my dear fellow," he said, "I must go back to London, and I shall be deucedly sorry to do it."
"So you've become a cobbler?" says Nilen, to begin with, compassionately, for he feels a deucedly smart fellow himself in his fine white clothes, with his bare arms crossed over his naked breast.
