"You didn't forget your promise, Mr. Fenton?" lie said.
"No, I always keep my promises when I can."
"You are very kind to a poor sick man. You have no idea how long the hours seem in this quiet cottage with no one to look at or speak to but Claudine."
"I can imagine it."
"And Claudine understands very little English. Most of the people in St. Victor, as I suppose you know, are French."
"I judged this from the signs over the shops."
"Very few English-speaking people find their way here. It is for this reason that I was somewhat surprised to see you here."
"I should not have come here," returned Fred pointedly, "if you had not been here."
"You came here to see me?" ejaculated Sinclair in excitement.
"Yes."
