And you are my friend. 'Don't you get into a bad habit of boasting, retorts Durdles, with a grave cautionary nod. 'It'll grow upon you. 'You are out of temper, says Sapsea again; reddening, but again sinking to the company. 'I own to it, returns Durdles; 'I don't like liberties. Mr.
Jasper broke silence by declaring that he placed his whole reliance, humanly speaking, on Mr. Sapsea's penetration. There was no conceivable reason why his nephew should have suddenly absconded, unless Mr. Sapsea could suggest one, and then he would defer.
Bud, his lost love, we have been told, was buried hard by the Sapsea monument. If Grewgious visited her tomb, he was on the spot to help Edwin, supposing Edwin to escape. Unlikelier things occur in novels. I do not, in fact, call these probable occurrences in every-day life, but none of the story is probable.
Tope is again highly entertained, and, having fallen into respectful convulsions of laughter, subsides into a deferential murmur, importing that surely any gentleman would deem it a pleasure and an honour to have his neck broken, in return for such a compliment from such a source. 'I will take it upon myself, sir, observes Sapsea loftily, 'to answer for Mr. Jasper's neck.

Sapsea 'dresses at' the Dean; has been bowed to for the Dean, in mistake; has even been spoken to in the street as My Lord, under the impression that he was the Bishop come down unexpectedly, without his chaplain. Mr. Sapsea is very proud of this, and of his voice, and of his style. So, in ending a Sale by Public Auction, Mr.
