Alone with her cousin's kiss, Gerty stared upon her thoughts. He had kissed her before but not with another woman on his lips.
"I thank Providence," declared Hartog, "for the draught of fishes sent to us at so opportune a time; but for their coming I doubt we would have been at each other's throats ere this." And indeed there is more in chance and circumstance than most believe. I observed that Van Luck took no part in the fishing.
"An' don't forget I'll be right close behind you. Get going don't gape!" The captive's face flushed at the other's manner and the indubitable note of contempt in his voice.

There were lights in the dining-room which shone faintly through the half-closed door, and we saw something white and shapeless come slowly down, and clutched each other's gowns in agony. It was only Kate's dog, who came in and laid his head in her lap and slept peacefully.
Unable to articulate another word, the Bacchanal Queen threw herself on the other's neck, and burst into tears. Then, in the midst of her sobs, she added: "Pardon! pardon!"
