"And what do you want with me?" "I only knew it last night," Dolly went on, casting down those blue eyes in her shamefaced embarrassment. "And this morning . . .

We also implore the loan of L60,000 sterling, in order to assist us in maintaining for the coming season a sufficient force in the field." Such, in brief, was the oration of pensionary Menyn, delivered in the French language.

In life, as in death, we are dependent upon Thy mercy and love, and yet, ever unmindful of Thy goodness, we must constantly implore Thy forgiveness.

"Draw very near, compassionate God, with assurances of Thy full and free pardon.
After that, if death find you, he shall find me with you! I implore you, conceal yourself." There was no pretence now, I was sure. Mystified, yet not doubting, I whispered: "I yield, mademoiselle!
