Whether he was possessed at the moment by some demon of mischief; or whether he had the idea of trying to make Oscar's peace for him, before Oscar returned was more than I could say at the time. I ought to have stopped it I know.
The sentence to which I refer, contained the words which cast in my teeth the excuses that I had made for Oscar's absence.

It was a happy effort, albeit a trifle laboured, but Captain Nugent's speech, the inspiration of the moment, gave it no chance. He started the moment the bowing Mr.
