'But suppose war were to break out—would you be a soldier again?'
'Why, that must depend on the Duke: if he said I must go, of course I must.'
'How did you manage when you first came here?'
'Why, as well as I could. It was rather awkward.'
'Perhaps you studied hard—read a good deal?'
'No, I didn't read at all.'
'You looked about you, then?'
'Yes, I did that.'
'And now you get on very well?'
'Why, yes; but I am plagued sometimes: the names of the flowers puzzle me sadly.'
