"I am not tied so tightly as I might be." "Good. With luck you may yet be in time to prevent Miss Belford getting away." "I don't believe she has anything to do with the chalice," I answered. "All the same, I should take another journey to Walham Green," said Quarles.
On Tuesday Lewisham returned from Vigours' at five at half-past six he would go on to his science class at Walham Green and discovered Mrs. Chaffery and Ethel in tears. He was fagged and rather anxious for some tea, but the news they had for him drove tea out of his head altogether. "He's gone," said Ethel. "Who's gone? What! Not Chaffery?" Mrs.
He was treated as a son of the family by the Duke, one of whose many Christian names, his lordship, Francis George Xavier, Earl of Kew and Viscount Walham, bears.

Husbands and wives both will be pleased that Lady Walham has had the better of this bout: and you, young boys and virgins, when your turn comes to be married, you will understand the hidden meaning of this passage.
