"If Mr. Harry Mr. Van Warden," he said, "is to stay to dinner, might I suggest, sir, he is very partial to the Paul Vibert, '84." Fred Keep gazed stupidly from his butler to the stranger and then at his wife. She was again radiantly beautiful and smilingly happy. Gridley coughed tentatively.

"I wish there was no one in the world but you and me." "Ah, you'd find it very crowded at times," said Colville sadly. "Well, well," he added, "I'll go to your fandangoes, because you want me to go."

It is trite to speak of a woman as being radiantly beautiful, commonplace to refer to it at all, save by implication, since feminine beauty is a composite attribute, vague and indefinable, and should possess no single quality to individualize it.

"Give me your word your word your word and your sacred promise, Julia that you'll never be engaged to anybody at all!"
The dauntless spirit of joyous liberty was in her blood, she loved the fresh air and vigorous exercise, and was a graceful, daring rider, never knowing what it was to feel a single pulse of fear.

She went to put on her cloak and, hat, and found him waiting for her at the top of the staircase.
