'Oh, not a bad girl in her way. They've made me very comfortable. All the same, I shan't grieve when the day of departure comes. It was not cheerful, the life-story of Henry Shergold. At two-and-twenty he found himself launched upon the world, with a university education incomplete and about forty pounds in his pocket.
'You hypercritical beggar! cried Harvey, turning with the volume in his hand. 'Is this how you treat the glorious works of your contemporaries? Shergold reddened and was mute. 'I shall take this away with me, pursued the other, laughing. 'It'll be worth a little study.
He was going to marry her on principle principle informed with callow passion, the passion of a youth who has lived demurely, more among books than men. Harvey Munden flew into a rage, and called upon the gods in protest. But Shergold was not to be shaken.

Perhaps it was partly his vexation at the book incident, Shergold seemed unable to fix his thoughts on anything; he shuffled in his seat and kept glancing nervously towards the door.

He was very far ahead; Shergold could judge the distance by the sound of his voice when he uttered a call or shout from time to time, and by the barking of the dog, as he flew up and down, first on one side of the road, then on the other, to keep the flock well on it.
