"Pooh! pooh! some nonsense that Dr. Etwald was talking about last night," he added, contemptuously. "He says if I marry, it will be a case of life in death, whatever that means." Her eyes strayed about, resting on one group after another till they lighted with sudden interest. "Oh!" rejoined Etwald, quietly, "Mr. Alymer told me so to-night.".

Physically, mentally, morally he was an enigma to the bovine inhabitants of Deanminster and Hurstleigh..
