"I have secured the hall," he said at once, as though aware that no news could be so important as the news he thus conveyed. "Have you indeed?" said Currie. "Secured it for the fifteenth. Now the question is-" "What do you think," said Glossop, interrupting him without the slightest hesitation. "Mounser Green is going to Patagonia, in place of the poor Paragon." "I beg to congratulate Mr.
"I don't suppose he was turned thirty, and he was a useful man, a very useful man. That's the worst of it. He was just one of those men that the country can't afford to lose, and whom it is so very hard to replace." Mounser Green was always eloquent as to the needs of the public service, and did really in his heart of hearts care about his office. "Who is to go to Patagonia, I'm sure I don't know.
During all this time Mounser Green was smoking his cigar with his back to the fire, and the other clerks looked as though they had nothing to do but talk about the private affairs of ministers abroad and their friends.
To tell you a little bit of my own private mind, which isn't scandal," said Mounser Green, "because it is only given as opinion, I think it just possible that the Paragon has taken this very uncomfortable mission because it offered him some chance of escape."

"I don't suppose I shall be gone by that time," said Mounser Green in a melancholy tone of voice. "I must go" Rufford, March 5th. My Dear Miss Trefoil,
This was said in the inner room by Mounser Green to Morton, who had breakfasted with the Senator that morning and had made an appointment to meet him at the Foreign Office.
"That depends on whether a man has got money of his own. When I heard about the Paragon and Bell Trefoil at Washington, I knew there had been a mistake made. He didn't know what he was doing. I'm a poor man, but I wouldn't take her with 5,000 pounds a year, settled on myself." Poor Mounser Green!
"But in a few months or weeks," continued Mounser Green, bringing up in his benevolence all the wisdom of his experience, "we have got a new footing amidst our troubles, and then we may find how terrible is the injury which our own indiscretion has brought on us. I do not want to ask any questions, but it might be so much better that you should abandon your intention, and go back with me."
