"Don't be funny any more," Maurice begged wearily.
"Poor Fuz," said Jenny. "You're crushed."
"I now know the meaning of Blake's worm that flies in the heart of the storm."
Even Castleton was ultimately affected by the general depression; and Jenny at last broke the silence by saying she must go home.
"I'll drive you back," said Maurice.
"Hearse or hansom, sir?" Castleton asked.
"Good night, Fuz," said Jenny on the pavement. "I'll bring Madge and Maudie to see you some time soon."
"Do," he answered. "They would invigorate even a sleepy pear. Good night, dear Jenny, and pray send Maurice back in a pleasanter mood."
For a few minutes the lovers drove along in silence.
