How
's
that
?
"
I
asked
,
triumphantly
.
"
Well
if
your
conscience
can
stand
it
--
--
"
"
It
has
never
failed
me
yet
.
"
"
But
what
do
you
mean
to
do
?
"
"
To
get
there
.
Once
I
am
in
his
room
I
may
see
some
opening
.
I
may
even
go
the
length
of
open
confession
.
If
he
is
a
sportsman
he
will
be
tickled
.
"
"
Tickled
,
indeed
!
He
's
much
more
likely
to
do
the
tickling
.
Chain
mail
,
or
an
American
football
suit
--
that
's
what
you
'll
want
.
Well
,
good-bye
.
I
'll
have
the
answer
for
you
here
on
Wednesday
morning
--
if
he
ever
deigns
to
answer
you
.
He
is
a
violent
,
dangerous
,
cantankerous
character
,
hated
by
everyone
who
comes
across
him
,
and
the
butt
of
the
students
,
so
far
as
they
dare
take
a
liberty
with
him
.
Perhaps
it
would
be
best
for
you
if
you
never
heard
from
the
fellow
at
all
.
"
My
friend
's
fear
or
hope
was
not
destined
to
be
realized
.
When
I
called
on
Wednesday
there
was
a
letter
with
the
West
Kensington
postmark
upon
it
,
and
my
name
scrawled
across
the
envelope
in
a
handwriting
which
looked
like
a
barbed-wire
railing
.
The
contents
were
as
follows
:

SIR
,
--
I
have
duly
received
your
note
,
in
which
you
claim
to
endorse
my
views
,
although
I
am
not
aware
that
they
are
dependent
upon
endorsement
either
from
you
or
anyone
else
.
You
have
ventured
to
use
the
word
'
speculation
'
with
regard
to
my
statement
upon
the
subject
of
Darwinism
,
and
I
would
call
your
attention
to
the
fact
that
such
a
word
in
such
a
connection
is
offensive
to
a
degree
.
The
context
convinces
me
,
however
,
that
you
have
sinned
rather
through
ignorance
and
tactlessness
than
through
malice
,
so
I
am
content
to
pass
the
matter
by
.
You
quote
an
isolated
sentence
from
my
lecture
,
and
appear
to
have
some
difficulty
in
understanding
it
.
I
should
have
thought
that
only
a
sub-human
intelligence
could
have
failed
to
grasp
the
point
,
but
if
it
really
needs
amplification
I
shall
consent
to
see
you
at
the
hour
named
,
though
visits
and
visitors
of
every
sort
are
exceeding
distasteful
to
me
.
As
to
your
suggestion
that
I
may
modify
my
opinion
,
I
would
have
you
know
that
it
is
not
my
habit
to
do
so
after
a
deliberate
expression
of
my
mature
views
.
You
will
kindly
show
the
envelope
of
this
letter
to
my
man
,
Austin
,
when
you
call
,
as
he
has
to
take
every
precaution
to
shield
me
from
the
intrusive
rascals
who
call
themselves
'
journalists
.
'
"
Yours
faithfully
,
