Mr.
Crewe's native wit and rich store of experience availed him nothing when Mrs. Damerel discoursed thus. The silvery accents flattered his ear, and crept into the soft places of his nature. He felt as when a clever actress in a pathetic part wrought upon him in the after-dinner mood. 'You must bear up against it, Mrs. Damerel. And I don't think a retired life would suit you at all.
It was Crewe's voice that recalled him back from the stamp collector's imaginary world. "Why, Mr. Crewe," said Rolfe, with evident pleasure, "who'd have thought of seeing you?"
