My own opinion is that the explanation is

her own broke the engagement with Garry and
married Quimby. The whole affair didn't amount to
much in the history of the world but it meant more
to Garry than the partition of Poland and Qumby s

Take the word "honor,' for instance. The Spanish
kind permits man to do anything he pleases, and is
imperiled only by submission to the unpleasant acts

of view, and it all happened just few years ago.
Now Quimby might have denied that he knew
anything about Garrys engagement, and some people
might have believed him. and, anyhow, it would
have made his case look better, but perhaps Quimby
thought denial would be dshonorable. Perhaps he
was too serenely of his construction of the
term Anyhow he laughed laugh of indugent

him as witty, and he repeated it rather ofener than
