There were nights of it when he was here on sentry, the place a' wheesht, the frosts o' winter maybe riving in the wa's, and he would hear ane o' the prisoners strike up a psalm, and the rest join in, and the blessed sounds rising from the different chalmers or dungeons, I would raither say so that this auld craig in the sea was like a pairt of Heev'n.
"I'm not at all sure that I ought to come and play hostess like this, without an aunt or anything. I must think of my reputation. I may decide to marry Mr. Chalmers, and Americans are very particular about that sort of thing."

"Take the brandy to Miss Clifford, Chalmers. I will stay here a moment." He stood aside to allow the butler to pass, then shutting the door again turned resolutely to Thérèse, trying to conceal from her the quandary in which he found himself. "I'm afraid this requires an explanation," he said to her coldly. "Please tell me what you were going to do with that water."
Chalmers joined them soon after they had reached their box. He sank into the empty place by Maggie's side which Nigel had just vacated and leaned forward confidentially. "So you've started the campaign," he whispered. "How do you know?" she enquired. "I was at the Ritz to-night," he told her, "at the far end of the room with my Chief and two other men.
