Not in the least like an oracle." "I prefer an honest man to all the oracles," said Gordon.
"An honest man has his impressions! I have given you mine--they pretend to be nothing more.

I asked you a favor--a service; I imposed it on you.

You have done the thing, and my part is simple gratitude." "Thank you for nothing," said Bernard, smiling.
