Sir Harry's sense of justice, elementary or other, had had very little to do with his vote, but he said with honest pride:
"Somebody ought to stand by a fellow when he's down."
"Especially when he's in the right."
"Well, I don't quite see, Miss Smith, what business it was of Roberts' to cut up the Vicar's sermon. Naturally the Vicar don't like it."
"So he takes his medicine from Dr. Spink!"
"Rather awkward for him to have Roberts about the place."
"Oh, of course you defend him."
"The Vicar's a very good fellow, though he's a Tory."
"You seem to think all Tories good fellows."
