"You intend to give me no other notice?"
"You are right. No."
"Do you contemplate undeceiving Sir Leicester to-night?"
"A home question!" says Mr. Tulkinghorn with a slight smile and cautiously shaking his head at the shaded face. "No, not to-night."

"Not exactly, Lady Dedlock. But virtually the same."
"Do you think of undeceiving Sir Leicester tonight?"
"No," says Mr. Tulkinghorn with a slight smile. "Not tonight."
