"I won't make ructions, I promise! Come about five!" She waved her hand and ran off, leaving Walden in a mood between perplexity and amusement. She was certainly an 'original, and he hardly knew what to make of her.
Julian Adderley smiled faintly, and fixed a pair of rather fine grey eyes on Walden with a mute appeal, as one who should say with Hamlet 'These tedious old fools! Meanwhile Sir Morton Pippitt had secured the last member of his party affectionately by the arm, and continuing his stage whisper said: "Permit me, Mr. Walden! This is one of our greatest London literary lights!
No result of this second attempt had been forthcoming, so Walden concluded that his gardener had received a possibly curt and complete rebuff from the new 'Squire-ess, and had been too much disheartened by his failure to come and report it.
The Forge doctor has at last concluded that I am not a joke. A woman, to that sort of man, is either a joke or a menace." Treadwell laughed gayly.

The pathos of this hint was not lost on Walden, who, forgetting all his own momentary irritation, rose manfully to the occasion and roared down the old man's ears like one of the far-famed 'Bulls of Bashan.
