Do you dare to say that my wife was ever Miss Lindsay's attendant?
gpt
Unpaid attendant, my boy, unpaid; sort of hanger-on--poor companion. I received a regular income; she got an occasional frock; some article of clothing; now and then a few pounds; as it were, the crumbs which fell from Miss Lindsay's table. Of course, pecuniarily mine was much the better position of the two; but I always have been one to overlook a mere financial difference, and I hope I always shall be.

Look here, Morgan, if you're come down with the express intention of being insolent, I'll wring your neck, here, in the station.
gpt
My dear Nash! the idea! Nothing can be further from my wish than to be insolent to you; as I'll show you before I've done. Where can we go where we can be quiet, and have a little chat together? And afterwards if you'll take me to 37, Ocean Villas, and offer me a little lunch, and give me an opportunity of renewing my acquaintance with your charming wife, I think you'll find that we are on better terms than you seem to suppose. Where are you going?
human
To the golf-links; you say you want to go somewhere where we can be quiet; you'll have the quietude you want there.
gpt
Thank you; I don't think we need go quite so far as the golf-links, really; nor is that exactly the sort of solitude I was thinking of. You come with me; I'll be conductor. He opened the door of a fly which was by the kerb, and stood with the handle in his hand.

Step in.

Where do you think you're going?

Take us to the east end of the promenade, right to the extreme end. Then he turned to Nash.

We shall have all the quietude we want there. After you.
