In the meantime, before a ship could be got in readiness to transport him and other prisoners to Rome, Herod Agrippa II., with his sister Bernice, came to Caesarea to pay a visit to the new governor. Conversation naturally turned upon the late extraordinary trial, and Agrippa expressed a desire to hear the prisoner speak, for he had heard much about him.
Dolly tried to speak lightly, but the words nearly choked her. "I dunno. Maybe you'll know about it to-morrow."

They'll come back next time, and gradually so many sad birds will dance with you that the attractive boys will see there's no danger of being stuck then they'll dance with you."

Tell us!" cried Bernice. "Oh, Dolly, tell us!" "Tell you what?" asked Dolly, with an innocent stare. "Tell us what Mrs. Berry said."

You see, he may be so overcome by this galaxy of youth and beauty that he'll be embarrassed and run away!" "Nonsense, uncle," said Bernice, "actors are not easily embarrassed.
So a merry group of four awaited the coming of their host in the pretty little reception room. "Good morning," he said, cheerily, as he entered, "What an attractive bunch of humanity! Four smiling faces and eight bright eyes! I greet you all." With an old-fashioned bow, he took a seat near them, and asked, "Did you receive certain important documents?" "We did," replied Bernice.
"Well, it isn't a dreadful thing to make fudge of an evening," put in Bernice. "No," agreed Dolly, "but I wouldn't think of doing it at my house. After I'd gone to my room for the night, I mean."
