7/30 No earthly power would induce me to have anything more to do with _Taduki_ smoke. Of course I remembered that Lady Ragnall once told me kindly but firmly that I would if she wished. But that was just where she made a mistake. For the rest it seemed unkind to refuse her invitation now when she was in trouble, especially as I had once promised that if ever I could be of help, she had only to command me. But if that word--_Taduki_--were so much as mentioned I would leave again in a hurry. |
