But there could be no subsequent blinding.

Mr.Grey had a well-earned reputation for professional acuteness and honesty.

He knew there was no need for such suspicions as those now entertained by the young man; but he knew also that they existed, and he hated the young man for entertaining them.
When he arrived at Tretton Park he first of all saw Mr.Septimus Jones, with whom he was not acquainted.

"Mr.Scarborough will be here directly.
He is out somewhere about the stables," said Mr.Jones, in that tone of voice with which a guest at the house,--a guest for pleasure,--may address sometimes a guest who is a guest on business.

In such a case the guest on pleasure cannot be a gentleman, and must suppose that the guest on business is not one either.
Mr.Grey, thinking that the Mr.Scarborough spoken of could not be the squire, put Mr.Jones right.
