"Middling, not so bad as I feared; how did you?" "Not very grand, I'm afraid; but better than I expected," said Wraysford. "But I say, did you see how gravelled Loman seemed? I fancy he didn't do very much." "So I thought; but I hadn't time to watch him much."
"Desperate hard work even if you try in more than a mild way," said Oliver. Both were silent for a little, and then Oliver, hurriedly changing the subject, said, "And then, to proceed with my growl, I'm certain to come a howler over the Nightingale." Wraysford turned from the window with a laugh. "I suppose you expect me to sympathise with you about that, eh?
Close as they were to one another, Wraysford lost sight of Stephen for a moment in the blinding sleet which dashed full in their faces. But he heard him shouting a few yards off, and was at his side the same moment. "No use shouting," said he, "against the wind." "I must shout!" exclaimed Stephen, calling out once more.

"Wray," said Oliver, abruptly, after another pause, during which he had evidently made up his mind, "have you any money about you?"
"You off by this train?" says the latter to Wraysford. "Yes; are you?" "I may as well. I can get home by nine; and my people won't be in a great rage if I turn up earlier than they expect." "Well, we may as well get a fly as wait for the wretched omnibus," says Wraysford. "Come along; there are flies at the corner of Hall Street." Out walked the two, saying good-bye to one or two on the road.
