Armitage for a moment, and it seemed to me vastly improbable that the invader of Brackley Hall would meet with the kind of reception he anticipated. I saw Ireton when he set out to pay his call. His Gladstone-bags had provided him with the costume of Piccadilly; from shining hat to patent-leather shoes, he was immaculate.

He drove up in a farmer's trap, his luggage a couple of large Gladstone-bags. That day and the next we spent many hours together.
