Suddenly the strange dog, who had been beguiled by the courteous manner of the concierge, realized that his master had disappeared. The man had been hungry, no doubt, and half blinded by the glare of the sun. After the manner of his kind, he had dived into this shelter without a word to the dumb beast who had tramped behind his wheels, swallowing the dust his horses kicked up.
'Twas a boatload come from the ship to help. As our horses swept past them, one or two came to a terrified halt; but presently were running hard again after us. The great gate stood open. I drove straight into the bright-lit yard, shouting "Delia! where is Delia?" "Here!" call'd a voice; and from a group that stood under the glare of the window came my dear mistress running. "All safe, Jack!
