I do n't know what foolishness possessed me . See , I have written and apologised to Mr. Coxon . '' And Lady Eynesford kissed her and thanked heaven that they would soon have done with Mr. Coxon and -- all the rest . A few days later , Mr. Dick Derosne was walking in the Park at noon . He had been down to the Club and found no one there . Everybody except himself was at work : the politicians were scattered all over the colony , conducting their election campaign . Medland himself had gone to his constituency : his seat was very unsafe there , and he was determined to keep it if he could , although , as a precaution , he was also a candidate for the North-east ward of Kirton , where his success was beyond doubt .
