"You're bewitched," he said, "I was once. I don't want to wake you up. The only trouble with these things is that the enchantment doesn't last but the things we do under the enchantment do.
"However, it's better to have been enchanted, whatever comes of it, than never to have been enchanted at all. Will you promise me one thing?"
"What's that?" asked Henry.
"To tell me everything, exactly, truthfully."
"Yes, if you don't laugh at me."
"No, I won't—unless you can laugh as well. But you're going to get into a mess over this as sure as you're Henry Trenchard, and if I don't know all about it, I shan't be able to help you when the time comes that you need me."
"I'll tell you everything," said Henry fervently.
"When do you go to your old Baronet?"
"The day after to-morrow."
