Wilks at once repelled the request, remarking to Bertrand that such attempts at evasion must lead to greater stringency in the future. And this was the case. The incident naturally increased Lowe's suspicion of the ex-Emperor. At first there was an uneasy truce between them. This had been one of the unconscious crimes of the Admiral.
He filled his pipe, chuckling serenely, and having lit it sat and enjoyed that. Mrs. Silk retired for a space, and returning with a jug of ale poured him out a glass and set it by his elbow. "Here's your good 'ealth, ma'am," said Mr. Wilks, raising it. "Here's yours, Teddy a long life and a 'appy one." Mr. Silk turned listlessly. "I don't want a long life," he remarked.

Jem Hardy paid a return call on the following Friday, and had no cause to complain of any lack of warmth in his reception.
