Ch10: Jack and Stephen
Jack and Stephen in Chapter 10:
'I played that very badly,' said Jack, putting down his bow.
'Your heart was not in it,' said Stephen. 'It has been an active day - a fatiguing day. A satisfactory day, however.'
'Why, yes,' said Jack, his face brightening somewhat. 'Yes, certainly. I am most uncommonly delighted.' A pause. 'Do you remember a fellow named Pitt we dined with one day at Mahon?'
'The soldier?'
'Yes. Now, would you call him good-looking - handsome?'
'No. Oh, no.''I am happy to hear you say so. I have a great regard for your opinion.'
And my undying love for Stephen's use of the word floccinaucinihilipilification.
