Another conflict, you see. And another. He longed to orate about the woman who had his heart; yet she was the one topic that must be shirked. The MacQuern and Mr. Trent-Garby, Sir John Marraby and Lord Sayes, they too though they were no orators would fain have unpacked their hearts in words about Zuleika.
And again they honoured in wine her image. Sir John Marraby uttered a cry familiar in the hunting-field. The MacQuern contributed a few bars of a sentimental ballad in the dialect of his country. "Hurrah, hurrah!" shouted Mr. Trent-Garby. Lord Sayes hummed the latest waltz, waving his arms to its rhythm, while the wine he had just spilt on his shirt-front trickled unheeded to his waistcoat. Mr.
Trent-Garby, sprang to their feet; The MacQuern rose to his. "Zuleika Dobson!" they cried, and drained their glasses. Then, when they had resumed their seats, came an awkward pause. The Duke, still erect beside the chair he had vacated, looked very grave and pale. Marraby had taken an outrageous liberty.

But the apostolic line was broken, the thread was snapped; the old magic is fled. The MacQuern and two other young men were already there. "Mr. President," said The MacQuern, "I present Mr. Trent-Garby, of Christ Church." "The Junta is honoured," said the Duke, bowing. Such was the ritual of the club.
His face was drawn with pain as he hopped down the High on his right foot, fingering his ticket for the concert. Next leapt Lord Sayes. And last of all leapt Mr. Trent-Garby, who, catching his foot in the ruined flower-box, fell headlong, and was, I regret to say, killed. Lord Sayes passed Sir John in a few paces. The MacQuern overtook Mr. Oover at St.
The Duke, looking around at the bent heads and drawn mouths of his auditors, saw that his words had gone home. It was Marraby who revealed how powerfully home they had gone. "Dorset," he said huskily, "I shall die too." The Duke flung up his hands, staring wildly. "I stand in with that," said Mr. Oover. "So do I!" said Lord Sayes. "And I!" said Mr. Trent-Garby; "And I!" The MacQuern.
