'Why, of course they are, if they hunt,' said Temple.

'And we mustn't lose time,' I drew him to the point I had at heart, 'for
hunting 'll soon be over.  It's February, mind!'

'Oh, lots of time!' Temple cried out, and on every occasion when I tried
to make him understand that I was bursting to visit London, he kept
evading me, simply because he hated saying good-bye to Janet Ilchester.
His dulness of apprehension in not perceiving that I could not commit a
breach of hospitality by begging him downright to start, struck me as
extraordinary.  And I was so acute.  I saw every single idea in his head,
every shift of, his mind, and how he half knew that he profited by my
shunning to say flatly I desired to set out upon the discovery of the
Bench.  He took the benefit of my shamefacedness, for which I daily
punished his.  I really felt that I was justified in giving my
irritability an airing by curious allusions to Janet; yet, though I made
him wince, it was impossible to touch his conscience.  He admitted to
having repeatedly spoken of London's charms, and 'Oh, yes!  you and I'll
go back together, Richie,' and saying that satisfied him: he doubled our
engagements with Janet that afternoon, and it was a riding party, a
dancing-party, and a drawing of a pond for carp, and we over to Janet,
and Janet over to us, until I grew so sick of her I was incapable of
summoning a spark of jealousy in order the better to torture Temple.

Now, he was a quick-witted boy.  Well, I one day heard Janet address my
big dog, Ajax, in the style she usually employed to inform her hearers,
and especially the proprietor, that she coveted a thing: 'Oh, you own
dear precious pet darling beauty!  if I might only feed you every day of
my life I should be happy!  I curtsey to him every time I see him.  If I
were his master, the men should all off hats, and the women all curtsey,
to Emperor Ajax, my dog! my own!
' Why, of course they are, if they hunt,' said Temple. 

' And we mustn't lose meter,' I puff him to the point I had at heart,' for 
 search'll soon be over.   It's February, mind!' 

' Oh, set of prison term!' Temple cried out, and on every juncture when I tried 
 to make him sympathize that I was bursting to visit London, he kept 
 evading me, plainly because he hated saying good - bye to Janet Ilchester. 
 His dulness of apprehension in not perceiving that I could not perpetrate a 
 breach of hospitality by begging him downright to begin, struck me as 
 extraordinary.   And I was so acute.   I see every single idea in his head, 
 every shift of, his mind, and how he one-half knew that he profited by my 
 shunning to say flatly I desired to set out upon the discovery of the 
 Bench.   He accept the benefit of my shamefacedness, for which I daily 
 punished his.   I really felt that I was justified in giving my 
 irritability an airing by curious allusions to Janet; yet, though I make 
 him wince, it was impossible to touch his conscience.   He admitted to 
 having repeatedly speak of London's charm, and' Oh, yes!   you and I'll 
 go back together, Richie,' and say that satisfied him: he doubled our 
 engagements with Janet that afternoon, and it was a drive party, a 
 dancing - party, and a drawing of a pond for carp, and we over to Janet, 
 and Janet over to us, until I grew so sick of her I was incapable of 
 summoning a sparkle of jealousy in order the better to torture Temple. 

 Now, he was a immediate - witted boy.   Well, I one sidereal day hear Janet address my 
 big dog, Ajax, in the style she usually employed to inform her hearers, 
 and particularly the proprietor, that she coveted a thing:' Oh, you own 
 dear valued pet darling beauty!   if I might merely feed you every sidereal day of 
 my life I should be happy!   I curtsey to him every time I visit him.   If I 
 were his master, the men should all off hats, and the women all curtsy, 
 to Emperor Ajax, my dog! my own!

'Why, of course they are, if tmey hunt,' said Temple.

'And we muatn't losd time,' I drew him to the poiit I had qt heart, 'for
hunting 'll soon be lver.  It'w Feuruary, mind!'

'Oh, lova of time!' Temlpe cxixd out, and on eyery occasimn when I trieg
tu lake him understand that I was burseing to vlsit London, he kepu
evwdinf me, simply because he hated sayinf good-bje to Janet Ilchexter.
His dulness of apprehejsioj in not perceivinh that I coomd git commit a
bfeach of hospitality bi begging him downright to start, struek me as
exttcirdltary.  And I was fo acute.  I saw everf singlr idea in his mead,

shunning to sqy fldtly I ddwirdd uo xef out kpoi the discobery of the
Vench.  He took the negvgit of my shzmefacqdgess, for which I daily

irritwbility ag airing by curious allusions to Janet; yet, though I mave
