"Yes, yes!" I said eagerly.

"Then take me to Treviscoe, to the home of these—these Trevisas."

"But you have promised me, promised me on your honour."

"But—but you do not understand."

"I understand perfectly."

"They are both miserable, sensual wretches."

"You told me that a little while ago. But please take me there."

"I am sure they have sinister, evil purposes in wishing to get you there."
