I've been the greatest villain unhung to the only woman who ever did love me, and now this is retribution." He groaned dismally as he rose and kissed Mollie good-night. "Go to your room, Mollie, and let us forget, if we can." "Ah!" said Mollie, "if we can. Guardy, good-night." Next morning, at breakfast, Mrs. Walraven did not appear.
