ABSTRACT
Percy had already begun to alter his opinion of Dawkins, but he could not think what motive that person had for pretending to take so much interest in his loss, leading him on to form almost certain expectations, and then deserting him as if he were not worth the trouble of thinking about. He was ruminating, he said, in this manner just before candles were brought in, when Dawkins himself was announced to apologize for not keeping his appointment in the morning.
