Lord Chadwick came forward and shook hands with Agnes.
'I'm afraid you've forgotten me, Agnes. It is nearly five years—-'
'No; I haven't, at least not quite. It was in the country, at the cottage in Surrey. You're the gentleman who used to go out driving with mother.'
'Yes; you're right so far, I used to go out driving with Mrs. Lahens.
You used to come too.'
'And very often you used to speak French to mother. I never could understand why—I used to think and think.'
'And do you remember any of the things he used to say in French?' said
Mr. Moulton.
'No; I didn't understand French then.'
'But you do now?'
'Yes. Our school is one of the best; we are taught everything.'
'I'm sorry for that. There'll be nothing for us to teach you.'
