And this power rose, sometimes, with vehemence against the monotony of her surroundings, in the midst of her wealth of comforts and of affection. It was the last of November, only two days after this conversation, that Stephen Archdale was announced. "He has come to tell me the decision," said Elizabeth to Mrs. Eveleigh; "he promised he would come immediately. It's good news."
Putting Nan aside, John Coxeter was only concerned with two things in life his work at the Treasury and himself and people only interested him in relation to these two major problems of existence. Nan Archdale was a citizen of the world a freewoman of that dear kingdom of romance which still contains so many fragrant byways and sunny oases for those who have the will to find them.
