"I'll have a few words with Sir Henry, and see you tomorrow at what time you like." "Certainly," Brooks answered, rising.

"If you will allow me to make a suggestion, Mr.Henslow, I would ask you to run through in your memory all your speeches and go through your pledges one by one.

Let Sir Henry understand that your constituents will not be trifled with, for it is not a question of another candidate, it is a question of another party.
You have set the ball rolling, and I can assure you that the next Member whom Medchester sends here, whether it be you or any one else, will come fully pledged to a certain measure of Protection." Mr.Henslow nodded.
"Very well," he said, gloomily.

"Where are you staying?
"At the Metropole.

Mr.Bullsom is there also." "I will call," Mr.Henslow promised, "at three o'clock, if that is convenient." Brooks passed out across the great courtyard and through the gates.
