This eulogy on the departing Larry she delivers with much unction, and a good deal of check apron in the corner of one eye. "So Warden failed you?" he says, presently, alluding to old Elspeth's nephew. "Yes. A disciple, a searcher after truth," goes on Lady Lilias, in her Noah's Ark tone. "By a student I mean one who studies, and arrives at perfection—in time." THE WOLF MAN.
