You were right, Roy," he said. "I would have hit harder. Ill-mannered little beast! All the same " A pause. He, no less than Roy, found speech difficult.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see you," I told him. "If you had, you would have been here days ago. Aren't you rather ill-mannered and neglectful, considering that you are responsible for my being here?"
