"Once in New York, Lord can receive Mrs. Ralston's instructions, and act for her. In cases like these I don't think it is best to trust to correspondence." "And, oh! don't let us delay a moment!
It was a few minutes after the service when the two young men most concerned met face to face in one of the dim and narrow passageways connecting the saloons. Allyne stopped and Carnegie, after an instant's hesitation, did likewise. "I understand," began the former trying to laugh, "that you and I had a little falling out, last night." "You and I? Not at all," was the prompt answer.
He had been seated some time, lost in thoughts that could not harm him, when Hope came tripping by, intent on finding Dwight, with whom she had some scheme on hand, her eyes dancing with fun and expectation. Allyne, looking up, thought his vis-a-vis of a short time since was back again, the arch, laughing expression with which she had left him not yet cold on her face.
"I couldn't understand it, either, and it will be hard to make my sister listen. She is a bit inflexible, at times. If you knew her better you could never have hurt her so. She is not a flirt, by any means!" "I know it!" groaned Allyne, thoroughly shamed and penitent. "I knew it then, but I may as well own up it was the champagne."

Why, you as much as insinuate that one or the other of these young ladies has a blemish!
Thus caught, the boy flushed and grinned broadly. "Oh, I don't have to tell," he objected, with a shake of the head. They all naturally began to insist, however, and he at length yielded, with the outburst, "Well, if it makes anybody mad, I can't help it." "Of course not!" laughed Allyne. "Personal remarks are bound to make somebody mad, but that's just what makes them spicy.
And so they proceeded, while, quite without intention but with no less offense, Mrs. Campbell and the young attaché were not called until the very last. He sprang up eagerly enough, but she barely glanced around. "Thanks," she drawled, "but it is too warm to play; don't you think so, Mr. Allyne?"
