! two such snobby little chaps as ps. don't you?''
I The duke nodded his assent and had n good
| laugh. When the train drew up again his grace
| affably bid his companion "Good-by" and, on
| alighting on the platform. was received with
! the greatest Difference by a throng of Jesuit
priests, this inciden. again setting the station
master the task of inquiry. who inquisitiveIy
