"Peter," said Haversham at last, "you seem depressed."
"Not at all." Peter was the more laconic because he was suffering a quiet, persistent scrutiny from Wenderby.
"This," said Wenderby, "is surely not the sanguine young man who brought me to judgment."
"You remember that?" asked Peter briefly.
"I have come to apologise," Wenderby explained.
"I told you he should apologise," said Haversham.
"Isn't that for me to do?" asked Peter.
"I don't think so," Wenderby smiled. "You lost your collar and were nearly strangled."
"I would do it again," said Peter cheerfully.
