"So be it," said Mr.Caryll.

Your duty, I think, would have been to arrest me and carry me to Lord Carteret's, there to be searched if his lordship considered it necessary." "I have no cause to arrest you until I find it," Mr.Green snapped impatiently.
"Your logic is faultless." "I am following my Lord Carteret's orders to the letter.

I am to effect no arrest until I have positive evidence." "Yet you are detaining me.

What does this amount to but an arrest ?" Mr.Green disdained to answer.

"There is no reason why I should detain your lordship," said he, "and these operations--The lady--" He waved an expressive hand, bent an expressive eye upon the earl.
Lord Ostermore seemed to waver.
