She declares she will never speak to either of us again after we've gone away to- morrow. Of course we can easily reverse the position and turn the tables upon her by saying we will not speak to her again. That will be easy enough for I believe she's after the parson." Mrs. Bludlip Courtenay's eyes lightened with malignity. "What, that man who objected to our smoke?" Lady Beaulyon nodded.

Stevenson declares that he could have set the temple of Diana on fire that night if it had been handy. 'There was no crime complete enough to express my disapproval of human institutions. As for the baronet, he was horrified to learn that he had been taken for a peddler again; and he registered a vow before Heaven never to be uncivil to a peddler.
