"It is, very interesting. I know a good deal about it. Mr. Chesney lent me a book which gives a very good description of it and what it used to be," said Jane.
"Perhaps you will let me see it?" he said.
"I cannot lend it to you, but I will show it to you if——" she hesitated.
"Will you allow me to call and see it?" he asked.
"I do not know whether my father would like it; I will ask him."
"Do, please; I shall be so much obliged. Perhaps he will show me round when he has a little spare time?"
"Father does not take to everybody, but I think he will like you," said
Jane naïvely.
Carl Meason felt gratified at this remark.
"Why do you think he will like me?" he asked.
"Because you talk well; he likes a chat with a well-informed man."
