I said, "I daresay, if he and I survive you, Desmond will let me look round sometimes." Not very respectful, perhaps, but by that time I was fed up.

'What does she mean? said the Squire impatiently to Elizabeth. 'Tell her I'm going alone. 'But, father, you must take me! cried Alice, running forward with clasped hands. 'He is my brother!
