And Herbert, obeying the signal of his mother's eye, passed round to the other side of the bed. "Father," said he, "are you not so well to-day?"
"I'm sure you don't want any excuse, Mr. Fitzgerald." "And that excuse, Clara, was this: that I love you with all my heart. I had not strength to see you there, and not long to have you near me not begrudge that you should dance with another. I love you with all my heart and soul. There, Lady Clara, now you know it all."
"Herbert Fitzgerald has has asked me to be his wife. He has proposed to me." The mother's arm now encircled the daughter lovingly, and the mother's lips were pressed to the daughter's forehead. "Herbert Fitzgerald has asked you to be his wife, has he? And what answer has my bonny bird deigned to make to so audacious a request?"

The cab driver bitterly refused to answer any questions. He wouldn't even admit that he was not insured by Big Jake against such accidents. Fitzgerald stormed.

She found it impossible to discuss all the most secret and deepest of her feelings out in that open carriage, perhaps in the hearing of the servant behind, on this her first meeting with her cousin, of whom, in fact, she knew very little.

FitzGerald," she continued, "said that if he could only get hold of one or two big men who are behind the cocaine and opium trade he'd be doing a service to the world; he is most frightfully keen on catching them."
