Why
,
if
a
man
has
got
any
heart
,
doesn
’
t
he
want
to
see
an
old
friend
,
Nick
?
—
I
must
call
you
Nick
—
we
always
did
call
you
young
Nick
when
we
knew
you
meant
to
marry
the
old
widow
.
Some
said
you
had
a
handsome
family
likeness
to
old
Nick
,
but
that
was
your
mother
’
s
fault
,
calling
you
Nicholas
.
Aren
’
t
you
glad
to
see
me
again
?
I
expected
an
invite
to
stay
with
you
at
some
pretty
place
.
My
own
establishment
is
broken
up
now
my
wife
’
s
dead
.
I
’
ve
no
particular
attachment
to
any
spot
;
I
would
as
soon
settle
hereabout
as
anywhere
.
"
"
May
I
ask
why
you
returned
from
America
?
I
considered
that
the
strong
wish
you
expressed
to
go
there
,
when
an
adequate
sum
was
furnished
,
was
tantamount
to
an
engagement
that
you
would
remain
there
for
life
.
"
"
Never
knew
that
a
wish
to
go
to
a
place
was
the
same
thing
as
a
wish
to
stay
.
But
I
did
stay
a
matter
of
ten
years
;
it
didn
’
t
suit
me
to
stay
any
longer
.
And
I
’
m
not
going
again
,
Nick
.
"
Here
Mr
.
Raffles
winked
slowly
as
he
looked
at
Mr
.
Bulstrode
.
"
Do
you
wish
to
be
settled
in
any
business
?
What
is
your
calling
now
?
"
"
Thank
you
,
my
calling
is
to
enjoy
myself
as
much
as
I
can
.
I
don
’
t
care
about
working
any
more
.
If
I
did
anything
it
would
be
a
little
travelling
in
the
tobacco
line
—
or
something
of
that
sort
,
which
takes
a
man
into
agreeable
company
.
But
not
without
an
independence
to
fall
back
upon
.
That
’
s
what
I
want
:
I
’
m
not
so
strong
as
I
was
,
Nick
,
though
I
’
ve
got
more
color
than
you
.
I
want
an
independence
.
"
"
That
could
be
supplied
to
you
,
if
you
would
engage
to
keep
at
a
distance
,
"
said
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
perhaps
with
a
little
too
much
eagerness
in
his
undertone
.
"
That
must
be
as
it
suits
my
convenience
,
"
said
Raffles
coolly
.
"
I
see
no
reason
why
I
shouldn
’
t
make
a
few
acquaintances
hereabout
.
I
’
m
not
ashamed
of
myself
as
company
for
anybody
.
I
dropped
my
portmanteau
at
the
turnpike
when
I
got
down
—
change
of
linen
—
genuine
—
honor
bright
—
more
than
fronts
and
wristbands
;
and
with
this
suit
of
mourning
,
straps
and
everything
,
I
should
do
you
credit
among
the
nobs
here
.
"
Mr
.
Raffles
had
pushed
away
hit
chair
and
looked
down
at
himself
,
particularly
at
his
straps
His
chief
intention
was
to
annoy
Bulstrode
,
but
he
really
thought
that
his
appearance
now
would
produce
a
good
effect
,
and
that
he
was
not
only
handsome
and
witty
,
but
clad
in
a
mourning
style
which
implied
solid
connections
.
"
If
you
intend
to
rely
on
me
in
any
way
,
Mr
.
Raffles
,
"
said
Bulstrode
,
after
a
moment
’
s
pause
,
"
you
will
expect
to
meet
my
wishes
.
