And now you want to know all about our two young friends, don't you? 'Well, yes, Dr. Greatrex; I SHOULD like to know how they are getting on. 'Ah, of course, of course. Very right.
Peter and the apostles. 'Well, I hope so, Dr. Greatrex, Mr. Blenkinsopp answered resignedly. 'I'm sure I hope so, for his own sake, as well as for his pupils'.
