Hammond to be some waif from one of those nethermost worlds a village doctor's son, perhaps, or even a tradesman's sent to the University by some benevolent busybody, and placed at a disadvantage ever afterwards, an unfortunate anomaly, suspended between two worlds like Mahomet's coffin. The butler announced that his lordship's dinner was served.

Judge Hammond crossed his arms behind him, and took three or four strides about the floor. "Was Judge Lyman here to-night?" he then asked. "He was," answered Slade. "Did he and Willy go out together?"
"I don't know what's the matter with me to-night," he replied, "but my brain is running upon all sorts of weird and awful thoughts. I feel as if I could write a story like Hoffman, to-night, if I were only master of a literary style." "Well, if we are going to be Hoffmanesque in our talk, I'm off to bed.

Hammond had chosen, I might have taken the subject into my consideration. Mary flamed crimson. 'Mr. Hammond never gave me a thought, she said, 'unless it was to think me contemptible. He is worlds too good for such a Tomboy. Maulevrier told him about the fox-hunt, and they both laughed at me at least I have no doubt Mr. Hammond laughed, though I was too much ashamed to look at him.
She probably wanted to hear no more of his theories, was undoubtedly burning with righteous indignation against him because of Ralph Hammond.... Did she still consider herself engaged to Ralph, in spite of the fact that young Hammond had gallantly insisted upon releasing her from her promise as soon as he suspected that it had been given merely to prove her faith in his innocence?
