Look ye, Dominie, if you speak another word till I give you leave, I will read three sentences out of the Black Acts, whisk my cane round my head three times, undo all the magic of this night's work, and conjure Harry Bertram back again into Vanbeest Brown." "Honoured and worthy sir," groaned out the Dominie, "I humbly crave pardon it was verbum volens."
