Courtney made some fitting reply, there was always one on the end of his tongue. And then the King turned to me. "Major Dalberg," he said, "salute your cousin." I do not know which cousin was the more startled, but I am quite sure which was the more embarrassed. In truth, for a moment, I was too confused to move. The one thought that kept pounding through my brain was: "What am I expected to do?"
Thane crawled to the fire. "My God, you wouldn't kill me, Cale?" he gasped, reaching out his shaking hand for the letter. "Read it!" ordered the inexorable voice. It was a short letter. Courtney took it in as a whole; the dancing, jumbled web of words that raced before his glazed eyes.
He was back here for a week to see his mother after he got out of the Army, but when Alix heard he was coming she beat it up to Chicago. I thought maybe you might have run across him over in France." "I was not with the American Army, and besides there were several million men in France, Charlie," said Courtney, arising and stretching himself. "Well, good night. Thanks for the uplift.
"You are the American Ambassador, are you not, monsieur?" she said. Courtney answered by a bow. "Then, I ask if you will suffer an American citizen to be kept prisoner by the Valerian authorities without trial or legal judgment?" "Not for a moment, madame," said Courtney, instantly, and with a quick smile at the King. "You would protest?" "Most strenuously and so would Washington."

Women, it would seem, are rather prudent at such times. "Well," said Courtney, a bit later, when we were alone, "this is a queer go, sure enough.
When she next saw him, which was several weeks later at an affair of the Courtney Tabors, friends of Lord's, he exclaimed: "Oh yes. By George! You're the Mrs. Cowperwood I met several weeks ago at Rhees Grier's studio. I've not forgotten you. I've seen you in my eye all over Chicago. Taylor Lord introduced me to you. Say, but you're a beautiful woman!"
Courtney is to establish and oversee an American branch of his English business. They have only one child a pretty little thing: Susie and I became great friends. Mrs. Courtney opened the door of the private sitting-room in which I was awaiting her, and came in beautifully! She has learned how to do that since I knew her.
He was terribly afraid that the girl beside him was preparing to shed tears of joy and relief. He could feel her searching in her jacket pocket for a handkerchief. Mrs. Courtney was not only curious but apprehensive. She hadn't the faintest idea who Miss Cameron was, nor where her brother had picked her up.
"She says Charlie looks like a mud fence," shouted old Mr. Nichols, his lips close to her ear. "His pants? What about his pants?" This time Courtney joined in the laugh. After supper he sat on the front porch with the Pollocks and Miss Grady. It was a warm, starry night. Charlie Webster and Doc Simpson had strolled off down the street. Mr. Hatch and Miss Miller sat in the parlour.
