"Never mind that I am sympathetic, and I am your host and, by Jove! won't you have some tea! You look awfully tired and dusty," and he rang the bell, and then reseated himself. "See, to be quite orthodox, we will make our own introduction I am Michael Arranstoun and you are ?" The girl rose and made him a polite bow. "I am Sabine Delburg," she announced.
"Henry had told me casually that afternoon your story, and how he had not stayed at Arranstoun for the wedding because he thought your action so unfair to the bride! and how that now you felt rather a dog in the manger about her.
