Carey advanced timidly and sank kneeling at his feet; and still the royal eye graciously scanned the beautiful petitioner. Once she raised her face to speak, but meeting the gaze of the King her suffused eyes sank again. "She is quite overcome, Bugbee," said the King in a husky voice, as odd as his appearance.
