'The Todds, he had concluded with a laugh, 'have a tradition that they descend from Eylaf one of the bodyguard of St.
Another week-end came, and with it an invitation from the Lester Todds to visit them at their country place in New Jersey. Montague was buried in his books, but his brother routed him out with strenuous protests. His case be damned was he going to ruin his career for one case? At all hazards, he must meet people "people who counted."

Here lived the haughty Lester Todds, and scattered about on the neighbouring hills, a set of the ultra-wealthy who had withdrawn to this seclusion. They were exceedingly "classy"; they affected to regard all the Society of the city with scorn, and had their own all-the-year-round diversions an open-air horse show in summer, and in the fall fox-hunting in fancy uniforms.
"I'll not be gone long, Davy," he said. "I'm coming back very soon, and till then you will take care of Penelope; won't you, boy?" Spring came and with it the Todds.

He dashed his cap into the ring and followed it, with the lightest of vaults across the ropes.
How long shall you take to polish him off, Kit Ines? The opponent of Ben Todds calculated. 'Well, sir, steady Benny ought to be satisfied with his dose in, say, about forty minutes.
