We are to be punished with extinction as a family for the sins of our forefathers. My case will be the same as Uncle Dawne's only," he added suddenly, and clenched his fists, "only, if you treat her badly, I'll blow your brains out." "I hope you will," I answered. He looked hard at me with a pained expression in his eyes. "Ah, I'm a fool," he said; "forgive me! I don't know what I'm saying.
He objected to the picture as strongly as you do. He was not a common tenor at all. He was an old and intimate friend of Uncle Dawne's and Dr. Galbraith's. They all all our people knew him.

Lord Dawne's friends made no secret of his grand and chivalrous devotion to the distinguished woman known to them all as Ideala. Every one of them was aware, although he had never let fall a word on the subject, that he had remained single on her account every one but Ideala herself. She never suspected it, or thought of love at all in connection with Lord Dawne and, besides, she was married.
