There
is
business
in
London
that
needs
looking
after
.
I
meant
you
should
attend
to
it
,
but
I
can
do
it
better
myself
,
and
things
here
will
get
on
very
well
with
Brooke
to
manage
them
.
My
partners
do
almost
everything
,
I
’
m
merely
holding
on
until
you
take
my
place
,
and
can
be
off
at
any
time
.
"
"
But
you
hate
traveling
,
Sir
.
I
can
’
t
ask
it
of
you
at
your
age
,
"
began
Laurie
,
who
was
grateful
for
the
sacrifice
,
but
much
preferred
to
go
alone
,
if
he
went
at
all
.
The
old
gentleman
knew
that
perfectly
well
,
and
particularly
desired
to
prevent
it
,
for
the
mood
in
which
he
found
his
grandson
assured
him
that
it
would
not
be
wise
to
leave
him
to
his
own
devices
.
So
,
stifling
a
natural
regret
at
the
thought
of
the
home
comforts
he
would
leave
behind
him
,
he
said
stoutly
,
"
Bless
your
soul
,
I
’
m
not
superannuated
yet
.

I
quite
enjoy
the
idea
.
It
will
do
me
good
,
and
my
old
bones
won
’
t
suffer
,
for
traveling
nowadays
is
almost
as
easy
as
sitting
in
a
chair
.
"
A
restless
movement
from
Laurie
suggested
that
his
chair
was
not
easy
,
or
that
he
did
not
like
the
plan
,
and
made
the
old
man
add
hastily
,
"
I
don
’
t
mean
to
be
a
marplot
or
a
burden
.
I
go
because
I
think
you
’
d
feel
happier
than
if
I
was
left
behind
.
I
don
’
t
intend
to
gad
about
with
you
,
but
leave
you
free
to
go
where
you
like
,
while
I
amuse
myself
in
my
own
way
.
I
’
ve
friends
in
London
and
Paris
,
and
should
like
to
visit
them
.
Meantime
you
can
go
to
Italy
,
Germany
,
Switzerland
,
where
you
will
,
and
enjoy
pictures
,
music
,
scenery
,
and
adventures
to
your
heart
’
s
content
.
"
Now
,
Laurie
felt
just
then
that
his
heart
was
entirely
broken
and
the
world
a
howling
wilderness
,
but
at
the
sound
of
certain
words
which
the
old
gentleman
artfully
introduced
into
his
closing
sentence
,
the
broken
heart
gave
an
unexpected
leap
,
and
a
green
oasis
or
two
suddenly
appeared
in
the
howling
wilderness
.
He
sighed
,
and
then
said
,
in
a
spiritless
tone
,
"
Just
as
you
like
,
Sir
.
It
doesn
’
t
matter
where
I
go
or
what
I
do
.
"
"
It
does
to
me
,
remember
that
,
my
lad
.
I
give
you
entire
liberty
,
but
I
trust
you
to
make
an
honest
use
of
it
.
Promise
me
that
,
Laurie
.

Anything

Sir

"
"
Good
,
"
thought
the
old
gentleman
.
"
You
don
’
t
care
now
,
but
there
’
ll
come
a
time
when
that
promise
will
keep
you
out
of
mischief
,
or
I
’
m
much
mistaken
.
