“Obviously not.”
“I hope it is obvious. I have often been mistaken for one.”
“Curious! I can scarcely believe it.... Have you the address of my anonymous benefactor?”
“I dare say I have it somewhere about. Why?”
“Because I want you to write and tell him something.”
“Indeed? And what am I to tell him?”
“Tell him he needn’t trouble to pay the last quarter’s fees. I will pay them myself.”
“I hope you can easily spare the money——”
“Of course I can. I shouldn’t offer to pay if I couldn’t. I’m not a philanthropist.”
“Very well, then. I will write and tell him what you say.”
