Adrien L'Épine had his secret doubts as to the efficacy of the bold, blunt, humorous impudence which Terence O'Kimmon fancied such masterful policy, taking now special joy in the fact that its meaning was partially veiled because of the presumable limitations of the Indian's comprehension of the English language.
