[Hilda Lessways by Arnold Bennett]@TWC D-Link bookHilda Lessways CHAPTER V 17/17
And then his lordship comes back all of a sudden, and sets up with Mr.Karkeek, just like that." "Can he talk French ?" "Who? Mr.Cannon? He can talk _English_! My word, he can that! Eh, he's a 'customer,' he is--a regular' customer'!" Hilda, instead of being seated at the table, was away in far realms of romance. The startling thought occurred to her: "Of course, he'll expect me to go and see him! He's done what I asked him, and he'll expect me to go and see him and talk it over.
And I suppose I shall have to pay him something.
I'd forgotten that, and I ought not to have forgotten it.".
