Then, and only then, did Scattergood speak to the old gentleman who had been the spectator. "Morning Mr. Spackles," he said. "Mornin', Scattergood. See that last jump of Bogle's? I swanny if 'twan't about as clever a move as I see this year."
"I'm going to marry her," said Albert calmly, but his voice sounded strangely alien. "What's that?" yelled Hartley. "Sh! don't raise the neighbors. I'm going to marry her." He spoke quietly, but there was a peculiar numbness creeping over him. "Well, by jinks! When? Say, looky here! Well, I swanny!" exclaimed Hartley helplessly. "When?"

It has nothing to do with her fingers being crumpled up, that's rheumatism."

Hartley thrust his hands into his trousers pockets, stretched out his legs, and stared at his friend in vast amaze. "You're givin' me guff!" "I'm in dead earnest."
