He  had  not,  practically,  found  the  world  so  unjust
as  the  conductor  implied,  but  he  could  not  con
trovert  his  argument.  He  only  said,  "  May  be  the
right  thing  makes  us  feel  good  in  some  way  we  don't
know  of."

"Well,  I  don't  want  to  feel  good  in  some  way  I
don't  know  of,  myself,"  said  the  conductor  very
scornfully.

silent,  with  a  vague  wonder  flitting  through  his
mind  whether  Mr.  Sewell  could  make  anything
better  of  the  case,  and  then  settled  back  to  his
thoughts  of  Statira,  pierced  and  confused  as  they
were  now  with  his  pain  from  that  trouble  with  Miss
Vane.

the  conductor.
