We can't say Billfinger; it is nauseating.

Name him over again; what had we better call him?
Alexis du Caulaincourt ?" "Alphonse Henri Gustave de Hauteville," I suggested.
"Call him Ferguson," said Dan.
That was practical, unromantic good sense.

Without debate, we expunged Billfinger as Billfinger, and called him Ferguson.
The carriage--an open barouche--was ready.

Ferguson mounted beside the driver, and we whirled away to breakfast.

As was proper, Mr.Ferguson stood by to transmit our orders and answer questions.
