"Follow the example of Mrs. Dallas, if you please." "I would tell you if I could," said David again, but in rather a sullen manner; "but I have reasons, strong reasons, for not doing so. Later on--" he paused nervously. "No, sir, not till to-day. I don't know what it all means, sir, but I'm sure I know how Dido got into the room.".
