The fact that they said so, proved that they were by no
means sure of themselves.
This was shown very markedly on Monday in Peter's case, for after lunch
he did not work as steadily as he had done in the morning hours. He was
restless. Twice he pressed his lips, and started in to work very, very
hard--and did it for a time. Then the restlessness would come on again.
Presently he took to looking at his watch. Then he would snap it to, and
go to work again, with a great determination in his face, only to look
at the watch again before long. Finally he touched his bell.
"Jenifer," he said, "I wish you would rub off my spurs, and clean up my
riding trousers."
"For lohd, sar, I done dat dis day yesserday."
"Never mind, then," said Peter. "Tell Curzon to ring me up a hansom."
When Peter rode into the park he did not vacillate. He put his horse at
a sharp canter, and started round the path. But he had not ridden far
when he suddenly checked his horse, and reined him up with a couple of
riders.
