"I'd tell you where I come from, but I've a feeling that I should spoil your enjoyment in finding out for yourself.

Besides, if I did tell you that much, you'd want to know why I have come here." "Quite right," assented Reggie, approvingly.

"That's just what I should want to know.

But don't you trouble; I shall find out quick enough.

And don't be offended," he added.
