I have loved him for thirty years and know exactly what I am talking about and yet let me tell you, Gorsuch, that with all his qualities and he is the finest-bred gentleman I know he can come closer to being a natural born fool than any man of his years and position in Kennedy Square.
"One thing more, Mr Gorsuch," I said, "be careful of your fires. They can smell them outside when the wind blows down from the wood." "Fires!" he exclaimed; "I don't light fires here except I've little bleating schoolboys to tea. Cut and get your porridge. Here," he called, as I went down on my hands and knees, "here's a keepsake for you."
"With that mortgage hanging over everything and Gorsuch and your father cudgelling their brains to foreclose it, you won't have a ghost of a chance. Come to think of it, however, I might help for a few weeks' expenses, at least. How would this do?" Here he had all he could do to straighten his face: "'Attention now Hats off in the court-room. For sale or hire! Immediate delivery.
The only way down was to shut my eyes and walk over the cliff-edge, and trust to luck at the bottom, and "that was one beyond me" only Marah Gorsuch would have tried that way. No; there was no way down the cliff-side, that was certain.

He tossed me a little ornament of twisted silver wire woven into the form of a double diamond knot, probably by the man himself. "Thank you, Mr Gorsuch," I said. "Oh, don't thank me," he answered rudely: "I'm tired of being thanked. Now cut." I wriggled through the clump after Hugh, then we ran home together through the wood, just as the dinner-bell was ringing for the second time.
