Thank you, good people!
She could smile unflinchingly, although she saw that Arnold was staying by the "fair ladye's" side. "Let them go their way together," she thought. "After all, what right have I to care?" As to Francis Ryan, he forgot that Lily Danforth was looking after him with glances full of the deepest reproach.
With this piece of exquisite apropos did the infallible Mary Ashburleigh crown the edifice of her good taste. The two brides sat opposite each other. A small watch, which I had happened to buy at Coblenz, I managed to detach and lay on the Dark Ladye's plate as my offering. On a card beside it I merely wrote, "ANOTHER TIME!" Who knows? Perhaps Sylvester may fill and founder as the other has done.
