Lankester, and the first thing to be done was to muzzle Furnival's
young men. I went to Furny the next day and told him plainly that
his joke had gone too far, that he knew what Burton was and that it

And then that evening I went on to Antigone.

said--to give them my advice about her father's "Memoirs."
I told her that was precisely what I'd come for; and she asked if
Grevill had sent me.
