By the way, is that curious woman, Miss Comby, still at Sir Constantine's ? " In conclusion, I have something important to say. I feel that you are right, and I accept your very generous offer.

urse, we do not know what the quarrel w^as between Sir Constantine and Claudius. You think that Sir Constantine was in the wrong ; he may have been. At the same time I do not think that a father — however hot-tempered, and however eccentric — entirely breaks with his only son for nothing. Why was it that Claudius, who was quite by way of being my friend at Trinity, never told me one word of the reason for the quarrel, and parried my questions on the subject ? Why is it that, although he has been in London, and knew that he could get my address at the Temple, he has never been to see me, and has never sent me his own address ? It must mean that he is ashamed of something. It is strange that he — who was always thought so wonderful — should have been compelled to leave Cambridge without taking a degree, and should then have gone completely under ; while I — who was nobody in particular — took a second in my tripos, and am already THE OCTAVE OF CLAUDIUS. 47 beginning to get on at the bar.
