Your
habits
and
mine
are
so
different
,
Mr
.
Raffles
,
that
we
can
hardly
enjoy
each
other
’
s
society
.
The
wisest
plan
for
both
of
us
will
therefore
be
to
part
as
soon
as
possible
.
Since
you
say
that
you
wished
to
meet
me
,
you
probably
considered
that
you
had
some
business
to
transact
with
me
.
But
under
the
circumstances
I
will
invite
you
to
remain
here
for
the
night
,
and
I
will
myself
ride
over
here
early
to
-
morrow
morning
—
before
breakfast
,
in
fact
,
when
I
can
receive
any
Communication
you
have
to
make
to
me
.
"
"
With
all
my
heart
,
"
said
Raffles
;
"
this
is
a
comfortable
place
—
a
little
dull
for
a
continuance
;
but
I
can
put
up
with
it
for
a
night
,
with
this
good
liquor
and
the
prospect
of
seeing
you
again
in
the
morning
.
You
’
re
a
much
better
host
than
my
stepson
was
;
but
Josh
owed
me
a
bit
of
a
grudge
for
marrying
his
mother
;
and
between
you
and
me
there
was
never
anything
but
kindness
.
"
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
hoping
that
the
peculiar
mixture
of
joviality
and
sneering
in
Raffles
’
manner
was
a
good
deal
the
effect
of
drink
,
had
determined
to
wait
till
he
was
quite
sober
before
he
spent
more
words
upon
him
.
But
he
rode
home
with
a
terribly
lucid
vision
of
the
difficulty
there
would
be
in
arranging
any
result
that
could
be
permanently
counted
on
with
this
man
.
It
was
inevitable
that
he
should
wish
to
get
rid
of
John
Raffles
,
though
his
reappearance
could
not
be
regarded
as
lying
outside
the
divine
plan
.
The
spirit
of
evil
might
have
sent
him
to
threaten
Mr
.
Bulstrode
’
s
subversion
as
an
instrument
of
good
;
but
the
threat
must
have
been
permitted
,
and
was
a
chastisement
of
a
new
kind
.
It
was
an
hour
of
anguish
for
him
very
different
from
the
hours
in
which
his
struggle
had
been
securely
private
,
and
which
had
ended
with
a
sense
that
his
secret
misdeeds
were
pardoned
and
his
services
accepted
.
Those
misdeeds
even
when
committed
—
had
they
not
been
half
sanctified
by
the
singleness
of
his
desire
to
devote
himself
and
all
he
possessed
to
the
furtherance
of
the
divine
scheme
?
And
was
he
after
all
to
become
a
mere
stone
of
stumbling
and
a
rock
of
offence
?
For
who
would
understand
the
work
within
him
?
Who
would
not
,
when
there
was
the
pretext
of
casting
disgrace
upon
him
,
confound
his
whole
life
and
the
truths
he
had
espoused
,
in
one
heap
of
obloquy
?
In
his
closest
meditations
the
life
-
long
habit
of
Mr
.
Bulstrode
’
s
mind
clad
his
most
egoistic
terrors
in
doctrinal
references
to
superhuman
ends
.
But
even
while
we
are
talking
and
meditating
about
the
earth
’
s
orbit
and
the
solar
system
,
what
we
feel
and
adjust
our
movements
to
is
the
stable
earth
and
the
changing
day
.
And
now
within
all
the
automatic
succession
of
theoretic
phrases
—
distinct
and
inmost
as
the
shiver
and
the
ache
of
oncoming
fever
when
we
are
discussing
abstract
pain
,
was
the
forecast
of
disgrace
in
the
presence
of
his
neighbors
and
of
his
own
wife
.
For
the
pain
,
as
well
as
the
public
estimate
of
disgrace
,
depends
on
the
amount
of
previous
profession
.
To
men
who
only
aim
at
escaping
felony
,
nothing
short
of
the
prisoner
’
s
dock
is
disgrace
.
But
Mr
.
Bulstrode
had
aimed
at
being
an
eminent
Christian
.
It
was
not
more
than
half
-
past
seven
in
the
morning
when
he
again
reached
Stone
Court
.
The
fine
old
place
never
looked
more
like
a
delightful
home
than
at
that
moment
;
the
great
white
lilies
were
in
flower
,
the
nasturtiums
,
their
pretty
leaves
all
silvered
with
dew
,
were
running
away
over
the
low
stone
wall
;
the
very
noises
all
around
had
a
heart
of
peace
within
them
.
But
everything
was
spoiled
for
the
owner
as
he
walked
on
the
gravel
in
front
and
awaited
the
descent
of
Mr
.
Raffles
,
with
whom
he
was
condemned
to
breakfast
.
It
was
not
long
before
they
were
seated
together
in
the
wainscoted
parlor
over
their
tea
and
toast
,
which
was
as
much
as
Raffles
cared
to
take
at
that
early
hour
.
The
difference
between
his
morning
and
evening
self
was
not
so
great
as
his
companion
had
imagined
that
it
might
be
;
the
delight
in
tormenting
was
perhaps
even
the
stronger
because
his
spirits
were
rather
less
highly
pitched
.
Certainly
his
manners
seemed
more
disagreeable
by
the
morning
light
.
"
As
I
have
little
time
to
spare
,
Mr
.
Raffles
,
"
said
the
banker
,
who
could
hardly
do
more
than
sip
his
tea
and
break
his
toast
without
eating
it
,
"
I
shall
be
obliged
if
you
will
mention
at
once
the
ground
on
which
you
wished
to
meet
with
me
.
I
presume
that
you
have
a
home
elsewhere
and
will
be
glad
to
return
to
it
.
"
