"If Skatterly took it into his head to represent a Bull of Bashan, well, I'd rather not be here." "Of course we shan't allow any Bible characters. Besides, I don't know what the Bulls of Bashan really did that was so very dreadful; they just came round and gaped, as far as I remember."
"Yes, took them out to Slogberry Moor immediately after breakfast. Miss Durmot came too." "I saw you and Vera come back," said Lady Blonze, "but I didn't see the Klammersteins. Did you put them down in the village?" "No," said Skatterly shortly. "But where are they? Where did you leave them?" "We left them on Slogberry Moor," said Vera calmly. "On Slogberry Moor?
"And where are the Klammersteins?" asked Lady Blonze; "they're usually so punctual." "Another character pose, perhaps," said Bertie van Tahn; "'the Lost Ten Tribes." "But there are only three of them. Besides, they'll want their lunch. Hasn't anyone seen anything of them?" "Didn't you take them out in your car?" asked Blanche Boveal, addressing herself to Cyril Skatterly.
Why, it's more than thirty miles away! How are they going to get back?" "We didn't stop to consider that," said Skatterly; "we asked them to get out for a moment, on the pretence that the car had stuck, and then we dashed off full speed and left them there." "But how dare you do such a thing? It's most inhuman! Why, it's been snowing for the last hour."
There is the Durmot flapper, for instance, who simply stops at nothing, and you know what Van Tahn is like. Then there is Cyril Skatterly; he has madness on one side of his family and a Hungarian grandmother on the other." "I don't see what they could do that would matter," said Lady Blonze. "It's the unknown that is to be dreaded," said Sir Nicholas.
"It's something to do with Spanish history; we don't mind giving you that clue," said Skatterly, helping himself cheerfully to salad, and then Bertie van Tahn broke forth into peals of joyous laughter. "I've got it! Ferdinand and Isabella deporting the Jews! Oh, lovely! Those two have certainly won the prize; we shan't get anything to beat that for thoroughness."
