Phil clasped his hands behind him for safe keeping. "But I can't ask you to marry me at least not to-day." Carlotta made a dainty little face at him. "And why not?

A long green praying mantis that had apparently mounted on the bougainvillea against the hotel wall appeared in meditative stateliness on the window-sill.
