He almost hated himself for feeling any doubt on the subject, and yet Mark had certainly behaved very strangely; in any case he must try to find out who this Cyril Ernstone might be, and he went on to the City and called at Messrs. Chilton and Fladgate's offices with that intention. Mr. Fladgate himself came down to receive him in the little room in which Mark Ashburn had once waited.
As he drove home with his wife that night, however, his disappointment found vent: 'Never been so taken in in my life, he remarked; 'I did think from his book that that young Ernstone and I would have something in common; but I tried him but got nothing out of him but rubbish; probably got the whole thing up out of some British Association speech and forgotten it!
