And so, holding hands, we drank in silence.

It made me feel quite choky; and I could see that he, too, was moved.
_From E.B.Trent's Memoranda_.
_January_ 4, 1907.
I asked Mr.Rupert Sent Leger to dine with me at my office alone, as I wished to have a chat with him.

To-morrow Sir Colin and I will have a formal meeting with him for the settlement of affairs, but I thought it best to have an informal talk with him alone first, as I wished to tell him certain matters which will make our meeting to-morrow more productive of utility, as he can now have more full understanding of the subjects which we have to discuss.

Sir Colin is all that can be in manhood, and I could wish no better colleague in the executorship of this phenomenal Will; but he has not had the privilege of a lifelong friendship with the testator as I have had.
And as Rupert Sent Leger had to learn intimate details regarding his uncle, I could best make my confidences alone.

To-morrow we shall have plenty of formality.
