"A man of his rank and position of course expects to have some deference paid to him." "A man of his rank and position should be very careful of the rights of others, Mr. Groschut." "I'm afraid his brother did make himself troublesome. You're one of the family, Canon, and therefore, of course, know all about it." "I know nothing at all about it, Mr. Groschut."
This black influx, as Lord Brotherton called it, had all been due to consideration for his Lordship. Mr. De Baron thought that his guest would like to see, at any rate, one of his own family, and Lady Alice Holdenough was the only one whom he could meet. As to Mr. Groschut, he was the Dean's bitterest enemy, and would, therefore, it was thought, be welcome. The Bishop had been asked, as Mr.

Groschut passed on. "I'm not quite sure," said the Dean, as he opened his own door, "whether any good is ever done by converting a Jew." "But St. Paul was a converted Jew," said Lord George. "Well yes; in those early days Christians were only to be had by converting Jews or Pagans; and in those days they did actually become Christians. But the Groschuts are a mistake."
