It somehow seems to me very strange that I should have come to know this man, Gastrell, without introduction of any kind – even have become intimate with him. On the day after he had come to my house by accident, he called to fetch a pair of gloves which, in his confusion on the previous evenin’, he had left in the hall. He asked if he might see me, and then he again apologized for the mistake he had made the night before. We stayed talkin’ for, I suppose, fully half an hour – he’s an excellent talker, and exceedingly well-informed – and incidentally he mentioned that he was lookin’ for a house. From his description of what he wanted it at once struck me that my Cumberland Place house would be the very thing for him – I simply can’t afford to live there now, as you know, and for months I have been tryin’ to let it. I told him about it, and he asked if he might see it, and – well, the thing’s done; he has it now, as I say, on a seven years’ lease. – Then why worry?
