Let Her Know That You're There The job before him, in his attempt to win Lady Ongar, was a peculiar job, and that Archie well knew.

In some inexplicable manner he put himself into the scales and weighed himself, and discovered his own weight with fair accuracy.

And he put her into the scales, and he found that she was much the heavier of the two.

How he did this--how such men as Archie Clavering do do it--I cannot say; but they do weigh themselves, and know their own weight, and shove themselves aside as being too light for any real service in the world.

This they do, though they may fluster with their voices, and walk about with their noses in the air, and swing their canes, and try to look as large as they may.
They do not look large, and they know it; and, consequently, they ring the bells, and look after the horses, and shove themselves on one side, so that the heavier weights may come forth and do the work.
