As it was, when it was all over, it was with no self-satisfied smile or inward gratulation that he returned to his work, but rather with the nervous uncomfortable misgivings of one who says to himself, "After all I may have done more harm than good." By the end of a fortnight Reginald, greatly to Mr Durfy's dissatisfaction, was an accomplished compositor.
Horace waited for no more elaborate statement of Mr Durfy's wishes, but thankfully withdrew, and made straight for Reginald. He found him half hidden, half choked by the dust of his own raising, as he drew his broom in a spiritless way across the black dry floor.
His hand was upon Durfy's collar, so fiercely that nothing but a hand- to-hand struggle could release its grip; unless Durfy's hand dropped to his pocket. There was a flash and a scream, and next moment Blandford was clinging, groaning, to the railings of the square, while Durfy's footsteps died away in the gloomy mazes of a network of back streets.
Mr Durfy's adjectives frequently had the merit of being more forcible than appropriate, and on the present occasion, what with the dust and his own rage, the one he wanted stuck in his throat altogether. "I said I don't think you will," repeated Reginald. Mr Durfy looked at his man and hesitated.

If that was his intention he was not disappointed. "Oh," said the overseer, with a return of the old sneer, which had been dormant ever since the night Reginald had knocked him down. "You have come, have you?
He recovered himself shortly, however, and demanded sharply, "What are you doing here, making all this mess?" "I'm trying to carry out Mr Durfy's instructions," replied Reginald, leaning on his broom, and not at all displeased at the interruption. "Durfy's instructions? What do you mean, sir?" "Mr Durfy's " "That will do.
