As it turned into the bystreet, leading to the Duke home, Dorian saw the driver to be Mr.Jack Lamont.

Dorian kept in the road, and set his face hard.

As the machine had to stop to prevent running over him, Dorian turned, walked deliberately to the side of the car, and looking steadily into Mr.Lamont's face, said: "I'm going to Mr.Duke's also.

If I find you there, I'll thrash you within an inch of your life.

Drive on." For a moment, the two glared at each other, then the automobile went on--on past the Duke house toward town.
