QUOTE : Although such circumspection wasn’t necessary, he followed the hack to make sure it deposited Tuppence safely on her doorstep. ’Twas obvious she wasn’t in danger from the driver, who had waited patiently for more than an hour for her meeting to conclude, and if some misfortune should happen to befall her, he was confident she would contrive an escape. No, his decision to trail her coach home had nothing to do with necessity. He simply wanted to be near her a little bit longer and to enjoy the unexpected pleasure he derived from inconveniencing himself further on her behalf. He was a man in love for the first time in his life and delighted in feeling foolish.
