Excerpt from One of Our Conquerors, Vol. 2 of 3
His master opened on the bristling business.
"What"s this, of your name in the papers, your appearing before a magistrate, and a fine? Tell the tale shortly."
Skepsey fell upon his attitude for dialectical defence: the modest form of the two hands at rolling play and the head deferentially sidecast. But knowing that he had gratified his personal tastes in the act of serving his master"s interests, an interfusion of sentiments plunged him into self-consciousness; an unwonted state with him, clogging to a simple story.
