[The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne by William J. Locke]@TWC D-Link bookThe Morals of Marcus Ordeyne CHAPTER II 26/27

I might just as well have accused her of stealing silver spoons.
I said I should miss her (which I certainly shall), and promised to write to her once a week. "And you," said I, "will have heaps of time to write me the History of a Sequestered and Meditative Self--meanwhile, let us go out somewhere and dine." When I got home, I found a card on my hall-table.
"Mr.Sebastian Pasquale." I am sorry I missed Pasquale.
