But isn't it enough to make me blush to think of that scarf-pin, with the moonstone and pearl in it, that I got to give Pink, sticking in the Idol's necktie, if he hasn't already taken it off to go to bed? This is how it happened. As we came along the street, almost as far as to Miss Priscilla's, we met Tony and Mr. Douglass Byrd coming into town.
A dead silence; then Haward spoke calmly: "I will not take offense, Colonel Byrd. Perhaps I should not take it even were it not as my guest and in my drawing-room that you have so spoken. We will, if you please, consign my portrait to the obscurity from which it has been dragged. In good time here comes Juba to light the candles and set the shadows fleeing."
The man of God, though stiff, was too conscientious to be unforgiving, and on receiving Stefan's explanation congratulated him sincerely, if with restraint. He did not know Shadeham personally, he explained, but he knew similar places, and doubted if Byrd could do better.
Meanwhile she shook her young braids at Johnny Byrd. "But you are so sudden! I think he is a flirter, yes?" she said gayly to Mr. Blair who smiled back appreciatively and a trifle protectively at her. But Bobby Martin drawled, "Oh, no, he's not. He's too careful," and more laughter ensued.
He said, "We shall have much to do together; I am sure that we will get it done and that we shall do it in harmony and good will." Tonight I renew that pledge.

She was the granddaughter of the noted colonial exquisite and man of letters, Colonel William Byrd, whose old home, Westover, we should soon visit on our way up the river.
And now " he sat back smilingly "that is settled. Tell me the news. How is my godson, how is Mr. Byrd, how fares the sable Lily?" "Baby weighs fourteen and a half pounds," she said proudly; "he is simply perfect. Lily is an angel." She paused, and seemed to continue almost with an effort. "Stefan is very busy. He does not care to paint autumn landscapes, so he has begun work again in the city.
"Do you think it is possible that Lovey is going to be be blind?" she asked me in a small voice that could hardly dare utter the horrible words. "I came in such a hurry when Mr. Douglass Byrd called me that I didn't quite understand what Dr. Hughes said or found," I answered.
