midnight
Before we had been at Red Abbey for a quarter of an hour , a telegram was handed to me . Falcon had forwarded it from London . _ Forced to regard your conduct as molestful delivery of your luggage will not be accepted parasites will remain boxed and receive necessary attention at your expense and risk pending instructions regarding their removal which should be communicated to station-master direct any attempt on your part to enter Pride Langley to-morrow will be forcibly resisted . _ At once I arranged for the dispatch of the following reply -- _ At great inconvenience have arranged to postpone arrival of luggage and parasites until to-morrow aaa impossible however to stop elephants seven of which should reach you by road before midnight and remainder by 2 a.m. aaa as already slated am unable at this juncture to cancel my visit but shall certainly never stay at Pride Langley again aaa if `` molestful '' means what I think it does I shall point you out to the large parasite . _ We spent a hilarious evening . The Irish terrier showed Nobby that hospitality for which the Isle is famous . He made him free of the house and grounds , showed him the way to the kitchen , and indicated by occupation the most comfortable chairs .
