Major," broke in Jeekie again, "that most 'utterably true.

Barlow found her sensible but cold and pulseless, and broke to her friends the news that twelve hours more would end her existence. Colonel Damer went wild, and telegraphed at once to London for men who arrived when his wife was ready to be coffined.
