     "I understand the feeling!" exclaimed Carton, with a bright flush. "And you are the better for it?"

     "I hope so."

     Carton terminated the conversation here, by rising to help him on with his outer coat; "But you," said Mr. Lorry, reverting to the theme, "you are young."

     "Yes," said Carton. "I am not old, but my young way was never the way to age. Enough of me."

 

     "And of me, I am sure," said Mr. Lorry. "Are you going out?"

     "I'll walk with you to her gate. You know my vagabond and restless habits. If I should prowl about the streets a long time, don't be uneasy; I shall reappear in the morning. You go to the Court to-morrow?"

     "Yes, unhappily."

     "I shall be there, but only as one of the crowd. My Spy will find a place for me. Take my arm, sir."
