That
I
should
live
next
to
a
man
who
seriously
considers
Porcupine
Oilfields
,
and
also
West
Australian
Gold
Mines
.
Tell
me
,
have
you
also
a
penchant
for
auburn
hair
?
"
I
stared
at
him
open
-
mouthed
,
and
he
burst
out
laughing
.
"
No
,
no
,
it
is
not
the
insanity
that
I
suffer
from
.
Make
your
mind
easy
.
It
was
a
foolish
question
that
I
put
to
you
there
,
for
,
you
see
,
my
friend
of
whom
I
spoke
was
a
young
man
,
a
man
who
thought
all
women
good
,
and
most
of
them
beautiful
.
But
you
are
a
man
of
middle
age
,
a
doctor
,
a
man
who
knows
the
folly
and
the
vanity
of
most
things
in
this
life
of
ours
.
Well
,
well
,
we
are
neighbours
.
I
beg
of
you
to
accept
and
present
to
your
excellent
sister
my
best
marrow
.
"
He
stooped
,
and
with
a
flourish
produced
an
immense
specimen
of
the
tribe
,
which
I
duly
accepted
in
the
spirit
in
which
it
was
offered
.
"
Indeed
,
"
said
the
little
man
cheerfully
,
"
this
has
not
been
a
wasted
morning
.
I
have
made
the
acquaintance
of
a
man
who
in
some
ways
resembles
my
far
-
off
friend
.
By
the
way
,
I
should
like
to
ask
you
a
question
.
You
doubtless
know
everyone
in
this
tiny
village
.
Who
is
the
young
man
with
the
very
dark
hair
and
eyes
,
and
the
handsome
face
.
He
walks
with
his
head
flung
back
,
and
an
easy
smile
on
his
lips
?
"
The
description
left
me
in
no
doubt
.
"
That
must
be
Captain
Ralph
Paton
,
"
I
said
slowly
.
"
I
have
not
seen
him
about
here
before
?
"
"
No
,
he
has
not
been
here
for
some
time
.
But
he
is
the
son
–
adopted
son
,
rather
–
of
Mr
.
Ackroyd
of
Fernly
Park
.
"
My
neighbour
made
a
slight
gesture
of
impatience
.
"
Of
course
,
I
should
have
guessed
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
spoke
of
him
many
times
.
"
"
You
know
Mr
.
Ackroyd
?
"
I
said
,
slightly
surprised
.
"
Mr
.
Ackroyd
knew
me
in
London
–
when
I
was
at
work
there
.
I
have
asked
him
to
say
nothing
of
my
profession
down
here
.
"
"
I
see
,
"
I
said
,
rather
amused
by
this
patent
snobbery
,
as
I
thought
it
.
But
the
little
man
went
on
with
an
almost
grandiloquent
smirk
.
"
One
prefers
to
remain
incognito
.
I
am
not
anxious
for
notoriety
.
I
have
not
even
troubled
to
correct
the
local
version
of
my
name
.
"
"
Indeed
,
"
I
said
,
not
knowing
quite
what
to
say
.
