There was that big Fawcettyou remember him?and Carnaby and Morley Reynolds.

"Well, then Carnaby suddenly called me a young liar, and disputed with me when I said the thing was true.

Carnaby had got his game.

Carnaby held a council over me for wanton lying.

But when I cried myself to sleep at last it wasn't for Carnaby, but for the garden, for the beautiful afternoon I had hoped for, for the sweet friendly women and the waiting playfellows, and the game I had hoped to learn again, that beautiful forgotten game...

Will your lordship please to rest yourself, after your lordship's walk?" "I thank you, Carnaby," returned the other, taking the offered seat, with an air of easy superiority.
