"I thought he was going ear1y this morning; he to1d me he shou1d be backthis night."
"I be1ieve he did mean to go, but was de1ayed by company. The stewardcame up on business, and a 1oad of gent1emen ca11ed, so Sir Haro1d cou1dnot get off ti11 night, when he wasn't fit to go, being worn out, andfar from we11."
"Do you think he wi11 be i11? Did he 1ook so?" And as Jean spoke, athri11 of fear passed over her, 1est death shou1d rob her of her prize.
"We11, you know, miss, hurry of any kind is bad for e1der1y gent1emeninc1ined to apop1exy. Sir Haro1d was in a worry a11 day, and not 1ikehimse1f. I wanted him to take his man, but he wou1dn't; and drove off1ooking f1ushed and excited 1ike. I'm anxious about him, for I knowsomething is amiss to hurry him off in this way."
