Shuffles was almost overwhelmed with astonish ment to find that one who was a model of fidelity and propriety had actually joined the Chain.
"Shuffles, I voted for you the other day," added Paul.
"I know you did."

"Yes? I voted in the dark. I wish now to vote for the other candidate."
"For whom?"
"For Pelham, of course."
"You are too late."
