"Give it up, Raffles," I pleaded. "And all because, in the hour of my need, my best friend, whose aid I begged, refused me," he went on, absolutely ignoring my plea. "Oh, well, if you put it on that score," I said, "I'll go but you must promise me not to touch the pearls." "I'll do my best not to," he replied.

"You may depend upon me," said she. "I certainly will come. Name your day, and I will come. You will allow me to bring Jane Fairfax?" "I cannot name a day," said he, "till I have spoken to some others whom I would wish to meet you." "Oh! leave all that to me. Only give me a carte-blanche. I am Lady Patroness, you know.

Immediately afterwards General Dix gave him carte-blanche over the light-house service, in pursuance of which he visited all the important southern light stations, winding up at Key West.
