"Once they do that, they mean to tell you they have adopted you. And they like very few people: so it is a compliment."，“Yes,” answered Bob, “I have.

"The gentleman escaped, the man doesn't count! Perhaps, indeed, he has fulfilled his mission now he has shed his ignoble blood for his superior!

And this day he wore a round velvet cap such as might have been suggested to him by a portrait by some old Flemish artist, and a velvet coat.
