"Whatever else it means, it＇s pretty sure to mean that," Mr. Touchett remarked.
"You＇ll see for yourself," said Lord Warburton. "When does Mrs. Touchett arrive?"
"We＇re quite in the dark; as soon as she can find a decent cabin. She may be waiting for it yet; on the other hand she may already have disembarked in England."
"In that case she would probably have telegraphed to you."
"She never telegraphs when you would expect it—only when you don＇t," said the old man. "She likes to drop on me suddenly; she thinks she＇ll 昀nd me doing something wrong. She has never done so yet, but she＇s not discouraged."
