He gave it to me and made me promise to convey it to her personally, not to put it in the post." "Was Lord Brayfield in the C.I.V.?" asked Rosamund. "Oh no. He was a captain in the 5th Lancers.

It was another of the oddities of female nature. 'My name is Mrs. Culling, and I will tell you how it is that I am interested in Captain Beauchamp, Rosamund addressed her companion. 'I am his uncle's housekeeper. I have known him and loved him since he was a boy. I am in great fear that he is acting rashly.

"But, fair maid," said another, "we cannot sure be called strangers.
