Drummond's firm, a very polite gentleman, but he could give me no information, except that he obeyed instructions from a correspondent at Calcutta, one Mr. Macfarren. Whereon I wrote to Mr. Macfarren, and asked him, as I thought very pressingly, to tell me all he knew of poor Ardworth the elder.

"Well, that may be too strong, Doctor, but you do not understand our society here. We have a large number of people of good family from the old country and from the East, and in order to reach them we require a man who has moved in good society."
Macfarren, be specific as to your reasons. Your letter and your petition were instrumental in persuading the Committee to a complete change of policy.

"That old skunk rather turned you down, I guess," remarked Ike, after a long silence; "that old Macfarren, I mean," in answer to Shock's look of enquiry. "I was surprised, I confess," replied Shock.
Macfarren was still at the table, evidently gathering up what lay upon it. In an instant Shock sprang into the fray. With a single jerk he tore Smiley from his victim and flung him on the floor.

He was turning away without further words when he was arrested by the sharp and peremptory voice of the old gentleman, who had remained behind Shock during the conversation. "Macfarren, this gentleman is a stranger, I presume. Will you kindly present me?" "Oh ah certainly," said Macfarren, wheeling his pony and looking rather ashamed. "Mr." looking at the letter.
