Iglesias smiled, lifting his shoulders slightly and raising his hands. "Yes," he said, "it seems that sorrow, here on earth, is always, sooner or later, the guerdon of love. Why, I know not; but so it is, as the most sacred and august of all examples testifies.

Bless you; don't be afraid. I'll play fair to the finish only keep well. Quit that rotten old bank. Now go, dear man, go," Poppy said. During the past six weeks events had galloped. To Iglesias it appeared that changes were in course of arriving in battalions. He neither hailed nor deplored them, but met them with a stoical patience.

"Indeed. Really, I wish I had known it sooner. It always gives me pleasure to meet persons of another nationality than my own. Intercourse with them makes for liberality of view. It often dispels anti-English prejudice. I am always glad to be helpful to strangers." "You are very kind," Iglesias said with gravity. "Not at all not at all.

Securely entrenched behind his own large prosperity, uxoriousness, paternity, had he not counted his, Iglesias', blessings to him; counselling amusement, rest, congratulating him on just all that which made for his present distress namely, his obscure position, his enforced idleness, his absence of human ties, the general meagreness of his state in life?

This direct appeal demanded a direct answer; and Iglesias, looking down at her, felt nerved to a certain steadiness of resolve. "Yes, we are," he said gravely. "That, at least, is my purpose. I have very few friends. I should value a new one."

It spoke to him of no vague and general truth; but of a truth intimate and individual, coming to him as the call to enter upon a personal inheritance.
