Cashel Byron's Profession

Bashville smiled and shook his head. "Oh, no, sir," he said, "thank

you all the same! Those are not my views."

following Parker to the foot of the stops, "fair words deserve fair

words. I am no more a fool than you are. A gentleman should know his

place as well as a servant."

"Oh, go to the devil," muttered Parker, turning very red and

hurrying away.

"If you weren't my mistress's guest," said Bashville, looking

menacingly after him, "I'd send you to bed for a week for sending me

to the devil."
