But she had heard that Mary had left me for a few weeks, and she had learnt from someone that I play chess, and so she came over on purpose to ask me to go in." "Well, that's very friendly," said the ex-warden.

"They certainly do look more like foreigners than English people, but I dare say they are none the worse for that." The archdeacon was inclined to look upon the Stanhopes with favourable eyes, and had nothing to object on the matter.
