To this Miss Mackenzie made no immediate answer. "It is not only for myself I speak, but John likes having you here with his girls; and Jack is so fond of you; and John himself is quite different while you are here. Do stay!" Saying which Lady Ball put out her hand caressingly on Miss Mackenzie's arm. "I'm afraid I mustn't," said Miss Mackenzie, very slowly.
There was no light of exultation in it as his great hand closed slowly upon Mackenzie's throat, no change from its stony harshness save for the dark gash and the flood of blood that ran down his jaw and neck. Mackenzie writhed and struggled, groping on the floor for something to strike Carlson with and break his garroting grip.
"Edna," she said, addressing her daughter, "I want to speak to you about the Mackenzie's; they are sitting quite alone, and no one is talking to them; and that tall brother of their's has not played a single game."
