He is interrupted by a ringing of the door-bell. The dealer's maid has returned from holidaying. "He opened the door and went downstairs very slowly, thinking to himself.
"If I experiment here, they will find me hanging like Absalom from a bough." But aloud she said nothing of her tremors. "Dicky sits a horse remarkably well for his age," said Sir Oliver after a pause. "I had some thought to pack him off holidaying with you. But the puppy has taken to the water like a spaniel.

And her name was Ella, and she had come one year to spend some weeks with Mrs Penkethman, the widowed headmistress of the Wesleyan Day School, who was her cousin.
