"You will let me hear from you, Mr. Pomeroy, by to-morrow morning at the latest?"
"There will be no need for you to wait till to-morrow morning, Miss Deane."
"Does that mean that you have made up your mind already?"
"It does."
"And the answer is----?"
"The answer is, that if Matthew Kelvin can obtain this situation for me, I will gladly accept it. To tell the truth, I am somewhat tired of the nomadic sort of life that I have been leading since I was quite a lad. I think I am sufficiently tamed to settle quietly down to work--provided there is not too much of it, and I am allowed to have pretty much my own way."
"Any person who chooses to assert himself can have his own way with Sir Thomas Dudgeon. I am glad that you have decided to accept the position. I feel quite sure that you will have no cause to regret doing so."
"It is you who have persuaded me. I feel sure that Kelvin would not have succeeded as you have."
"Don't forget what I have told you about Miss Lloyd."
"I am not at all likely to do so. I am all anxiety to see her."
