“I have a feeling,” Harry said prophetically, “that you will be paying one way or another for every acre one by one.”
The Duke laughed.
“If I have any more of your gloomy predictions, I shall send you right back to London,” he said. “What you need is another glass of champagne! Oh, and I have forgotten to tell you, amongst my other guests there will be the delectable Marguerite who is arriving this evening especially for you.”
Harry Sheldon sat up and there was a sudden light in his eyes.

“With alacrity!” the Duke replied, “and, hold your breath, she is coming alone. James is unfortunately detained on duty at Buckingham Palace.”
Harry Sheldon made a sound of undisguised exaltation.
“Silvanus, you are a Trojan! You have brought a new light and laughter into my life and one day I shall do the same for you.”
“I will hold you to that,” the Duke said. “God knows, if I am to become a married man, I may well need your help.”
