Gresham and Cantrip with their own friends can hardly make a Ministry as things are now unless Mr. Monk will join them.

That exceedingly intelligent young nobleman Lord Cantrip was in earnest.

"We shall weep over him, as over a fallen angel, if he leaves us," said Lady Cantrip.

"We have been so happy to have you among us," said Lady Cantrip, looking at him with beseeching, almost loving eyes.
