If we 'd meant to do anything out of the way we should n't ` a come like that , nor yet at that hour . Why , it wor n't midnight , Mr. Fenwick . '' `` But why was there such a man as Burrows with you ? Do you think he was fit company for you , Sam ? '' `` I suppose a chap may choose his own company , Mr. Fenwick ? ''
