Lathrop. "Not me," said Miss Clegg; "I ain't got any give-up in me. I'll keep on until I find it if I have to board Elijah Doxey till he dies or till I drop dead in my huntin' tracks. But I can see that my feelin' towards him is n't goin' to be what it might of been if he'd been frank an' open with me as I am with him an' every one else. He seems so frank an' open, too in other ways than that box.
I don't quite know what it was. He gathered that the success had been indescribable. Jane radiated bliss. 'I tell you what, old man, said Doxey: 'we must adapt The Plague-Spot, eh? 'We'll see about that, said Henry. Two days afterwards Henry arose from a bed of pain, and was able to consume a little tea and dry toast.
Doxey's suggestion? Geraldine asked him. 'Yes, said Henry; 'but I don't quite see the point of it. 'Don't see the point of it, sweetheart? she protested, stroking his dressing-gown. 'But it would be bound to be a frightful success, after this. 'I know, said Henry. 'But why drag in Doxey? I can write the next play myself. She kissed him. One day Geraldine needed a doctor.
Doxey, of the P.A. 'Love in Babylon? murmured Mr. Doxey inquiringly. 'Very pleased to meet you, sir.
