SIMPLICITY _versus_ SAGACITY. When Gabriel reached his home it was after dark, and Olly was anxiously waiting to receive him. "You're wet all through, you awful Gabe, and covered with mud into the bargain. Go and change your clothes, or you'll get your death, as sure as you're a born sinner!" The tone and manner in which this was uttered was something unusual with Olly, but Gabriel was too glad to escape further questioning to criticise or rebuke it.
