When she heard him go down stairs to breakfast, she followed, and contrived to give him a note, which he read with no small degree of surprise. "How to apologize for myself I know not, nor have I one moment's time to deliberate. Believe me, I feel my sensibility and delicacy severely wounded; but an ill-fated, uncontrollable passion must plead my excuse.
"That's not it," he said. "She's mad at something I said last night, and she's got a right to be. It was true all right, but it was none of my business. I made up my mind before I went to bed that I was going to apologize. I can fix things up with her. It's you and Miss Isobel I can't understand. You say you like me, but you don't act like it.
Morris had turned deadly pale, and his knees seemed to give way under him as he fell back into his chair. He raised his glass in his trembling hand and drank before he could answer. "I apologize, Eminent Bodymaster, to you and to every brother in this lodge if I have said more than I should.
For one perilous moment he was about to apologize for the mistake made in the darkness, but some wise instinct closed his lips. But he wondered why she had not corrected him. They were seated at breakfast when the senior Elden made his appearance. He had slept off his debauch and was as sober as a man in the throes of alcoholic appetite may be.

She swallowed the possibility of it with undeniable courage. "Have you come down here with my brother?" she asked, still in assumed bewilderment. "Yes," replied Sally. "We we came down in a taxi-cab." "But he never said he was bringing any one. He wrote. I I thought he was going to be alone." Nothing could be said to this. To apologize for her presence there would be ridiculous.
