‘And in what character is he to make you appear?’
‘That is the strange part of it,’ said Amabel. ‘Don’t you remember how Guy once puzzled us by choosing Sir Galahad for his favourite hero? It is that very Sir Galahad, when he kneels to adore the Saint Greal.’
‘Mr. Shene said he had long been dreaming over it, and at last, as he saw Guy’s face looking upwards, it struck him that it was just what he wanted: it would be worth anything to him to catch the expression.’
‘I wonder what I was looking like!’ ejaculated Guy.
‘Did he take you as yourself, or as Sir Galahad?’
‘As myself, happily.’
‘How did he succeed?’
‘Amy likes it; but decidedly I should never have known myself.’
‘Ah,’ said his wife—
‘Could some fay the giftie gie us,
To see ourselves as others see us.’
