Honora laughed again at the memory of the dizzy Sunday afternoons of her childhood, when she had been taken to see Mr. Isham's curios. "You are cruel," said the Vicomte; "you laugh at my tortures." "On the contrary, I think I understand them," she replied. "I have often felt the same way."
His habitual mode of speech was both brief and sharp, but people remarked that he modified it a little for Tom Leffingwell. "Come in, Tom," he said. "Anything the matter?" "Mr. Isham, I want a week off, to go to New York." The request, from Tom Leffingwell, took Mr. Isham's breath.

And then, think of seein' from five to ten millions of tulips. Why, I had thought I had raised tulips; I had had from twenty to thirty in full blow at one time, and had realized it, though I didn't mean to be proud nor haughty.

"Wish you was spry 'nuf ter go, Aun' Patsy. She'd b'lieve you; an' she couldn't rar an' charge inter a ole pusson like you, nohow." "Ain't dar nobody else in dis h'yar place to go tell her?" asked Aunt Patsy. "Not a pusson," was Isham's decided answer.
Cuthbert thought extremely reasonable. "Eight thousand dollars!" As she stood with her back turned, looking out on the street, some trick of memory brought into her mind the fact that she had once heard her uncle declare that he had bought his house and lot for that exact sum. And as cashier of Mr. Isham's bank, he did not earn so much in a year.
I must see a fellow in my brigade who is in a shell-shock hospital in the Cotswolds. Isham's the name of the place. The two men exchanged glances. 'This looks like fate, said Bullivant. 'By all means go to Isham. The place where your work begins is only a couple of miles off. I want you to spend next Thursday night as the guest of two maiden ladies called Wymondham at Fosse Manor.
