101 soon as he sat down, with a hearty " Fine morning, Sir !" " I differ with you entirely," cried the dictatorial gentleman opposite, before I could answer. " It's not a fine morning, because the sun shines, and the air's cool. It's an east wind — a beastly, pestilential east wind !" " Well !" said the new comer, " the east wind don't make any difference to me. I take any wind I can get, without minding which." " You ought to mind !" cried the other fiercely ; " you ought to mind particularly ...! Those scars on your face must be affected by an east wind — scars always are — if your scars are not, they ought to be !" " Ought they ?" returned the man, laugh- ing. " I think I ought to know best. They're scars of my own making !" 102 BASIL.
