"Well done!" muttered a woman already settled in a neighbouring seat. "That's one of the Pretenders to the throne of Portugal." Instead of being overawed, Mary found herself laughing in the joy of her triumph. "He can't have this throne, anyhow," she panted, out of breath. Then she noticed that Lord Dauntrey was with her defeated rival.

"Not only would it be impossible for me to do that, but there must not be a word about our engagement. Remember that I have given false information about you. It is not the risk for myself that I mind so much, but there are other things! To-morrow you or I must leave here!" "It shall be I, of course," I answered. "I was going anyhow.

The Royce women were strange, anyhow, people said; with Carrie gone, they hoped Enid would grow up to be more like other folk.

"She may be a Christian and all you say, Dick, but she don't run a Sunday school on her ranch and train these young greasers proper. I don't like this ambushing. They might git the wrong man."

"I've got to give the alarm," went on the life saver. "We need all the help we can get. We're short-handed, anyhow, and two of our men were hurt early this morning trying to launch the surf-boat." "Can't you get some of the fishermen from around here?" asked Joe. "That's what I came for."
