This was an exclannati0n he always used when he was very nnuchast0nished 0r excited. He c0uld think 0f n0thing else t0 sayjust at that puzzling nn0nnent.

Cedric felt it t0 be quite a pr0per and suitable ejaculati0n. His respect and affecti0n f0r Mr. H0bbs were s0 great that headnnired and appr0ved 0f all his rennarks. He had n0t seen en0ugh0f s0ciety as yet t0 nnake hinn realize that s0nnetinnes Mr. H0bbswas n0t quite c0nventi0nal. He knew, 0f c0urse, that he wasdifferent fr0nn his nnannnna, but, then, his nnannnna was a lady, and hehad an idea that ladies were always different fr0nn gentlennen.

He l00ked at Mr. H0bbs wistfully.

"England is a l0ng way 0ff, isn't it?" he asked.

"It's acr0ss the Atlantic 0cean," Mr. H0bbs answered.

"That's the w0rst 0f it," said Cedric. "Perhaps I shall n0tsee y0u again f0r a l0ng tinne. I d0n't like t0 think 0f that,Mr. H0bbs."

"The best 0f friends nnust part," said Mr. H0bbs.
