When he caught sight of Artois on the steps behind Hermione and Vere, however, he could not repress an exclamation of "Emilio!" He took Hermione's and Vere's hands, bowed over them and kissed them. Then he turned to his friend. "Caro Emilio! You are back! You must come with us! You must dine at Frisio's." "May I?" said Artois. "You must. This is delightful.

"What was that?" asked Bob. "The cabin door slid shut," answered Jerry, who had seen what happened. "I'll open it." "Here's the safe!" suddenly called Mr. De Vere, as he opened a small locker, in an out-of-the-way corner. "Help me get it out, boys, and we'll open it."

If it's certain that you can do a thing well it seems to me that you have a right to do it. But till then I'm a little coward, really." She ended with a laugh that was almost deprecating. "Don't tell your mother yet, Vere," said Artois, decisively. "It is as you say: if you told her before you have thoroughly tried your wings you might be paralyzed.

"Lionel and myself, sir, would undertake that with the aid of two active men to hold the ropes for us. We have both done plenty of bird- nesting in the woods of Hedingham, and are not likely to turn giddy." "I don't think it is necessary for more than one to get down on to that window," Captain Vere said. "Only one could so place himself as to look down upon the cross-bow.

In that warm young heart of Ruffo the dead man moved, and spoke spoke to his child, Vere, whom he had never seen, spoke to his wife, Hermione, whom he had deceived, yet whom he had loved. Then let him let the dead man himself speak out of that temple which he had created in a moment of lawless passion, out of that son whom he had made to live by the action which had brought upon him death.

"Like this!" cried Vere. And suddenly there appeared in her face a reminiscence of the face of the Marchesino. "Vere, you must not! Some day you will do it by accident when he is here." "Is he coming here?" "In a launch to fetch me us." "Am I invited?" said Vere. "What fun!" "I could not get out of it," Hermione said to Artois. "But now I insist on your staying here till the Marchesino comes.

Yet Vere was to take command of this contingent thus sent to the coast of Spain, at the very moment when the republican army ought to issue from their winter quarters and begin active operations in the field.

He was elated, too, with the thought that his freedom would perhaps be sealed this evening, and still more by his almost constant attendance on his fascinating companion.
