“That is a very good description of Lispenard. Almost good enough to have been said by himself. If you don’t mind, I’ll tell him.”
“No.”
“Do tell me, Mr. Stirling, how you and Watts D’Alloi came to room together?”
“He asked me.”
“Yes. But what ever made him do that?”
“I’ve often wondered myself.”
“I can easily understand his asking you, but what first threw you together?”
“A college scrape.”
“Were you in a college scrape?”
“Yes. I was up before the faculty twice.”
