Now tell me, would you mind very much if I left you to-day and returned to Chinkie's Flat?" "No, indeed, Ted. Surely I would not be so selfish as to interfere with your business arrangements!"

No. 3 Little Blank Street had abated nothing of its stone-flagged dreariness; the same blowsy woman answered his inquiry. Yes, Carolan was always in; you could never catch him out seemed afraid to go into the street! To her call the little Frenchman made his appearance as punctually as if he had been the rabbit of a conjurer. His face was as yellow as a guinea. "Ah! it's you, monsieur!" he said.
He went out to post the letter, and buying a five-shilling order enclosed it to the little barber, Carolan, as a reward for delivering his note to Ferrand. He omitted to send his address with this donation, but whether from delicacy or from caution he could not have said.

And then she had had the girl's money in advance. "Oh, I am so sorry you are going," she said, with a would-be motherly smile. "Of course I will send it anywhere you wish but why not leave it here in my care?" And then she could not resist asking one question: "Are you going to Minerva Downs, Miss Carolan, may I ask?" "Yes; I am going there." "What a dreadfully long journey for you!

In the stable itself they found Sidney Carolan, the little Peter, and a couple of servants the chauffeur with oily hands, and the wrinkled old Italian maid, very gay in scarlet gown and headdress. Jean's husband had all the Carolan beauty and charm, and was his most gracious and radiant self to-day.
The doctor went to meet him, Mary, a little pale, following. "Good day to you!" said Sidney Carolan, baring his head without a smile. "I'm bound to Barville; my editor is there for a few days, and I may have to dine with him. I stopped to ask if Mary would run in and see Jean this afternoon. She's feeling a little down." "Of course I will!" said Mary, heartily. There was a pause.
