She was sure that, as little Breckenridge would have said, she could "pull it off"; but she did not want to think about it. What she would have preferred would have been to go away no matter where and not see Strefford again till they were married. But she dared not tell him that either. "A little house in London ?" She wondered.

"You are a cool one, Mad!" said the latter in half-admiring indignation. "What's up?" said the bewildered Madison. "You ought to be, and scootin' out o' this," said Breckenridge grimly. "It's all very well to 'know nothin'; but here Phil Larrabee's friends hev just picked him up, drilled through with slugs and deader nor a crow, and now they're lettin' loose Larrabee's two half-brothers on you.
