To attempt to return with you to-night, as perhaps you fancy I will as, of course, I would instantly do had I alone myself and you to consider, would be little short of madness. It would mean utter ruin to many whom I have pledged myself to serve. And yet Adrian my honour pulls me two ways poor Adrian!

"Tempted!" exclaimed Sybil. "To play the part of Young Lochinvar, you know. She would have gone with me!" he added excitedly. "She would have gone with me!"
