My darling love but who comes here?" De Jones stood in the arbor door, and deadly was the smile he wore. J. Roland cried in abject fear: "Great Scott! What are you doing here! "Well may you ask," said Charles De Jones, in bitter, caustic, scathing tones. "You've dodged me for a dozen weeks, but now 'tis the avenger speaks you'll have to pay up what you owe, or to the county jug you'll go."
