"Ha, ha, ha!" says Roger, forgetful of everything but the pretty pups and their tiny war. "Ha, ha, ha!" says Dulce, equally unmindful of the stormy past. "How sweet they looked, naughty things. And how they did bark and bite. Dr. Watts should have been here to see them."

Once on its bank, who shall tell what next may happen. There will be a mad bound a crash a cry, perhaps, that will pierce through all other sounds and then and Sir Christopher . As these thoughts force themselves upon the girls, they shudder, and involuntarily move closer to each other. Dulce covers her face with her hands, as though to shut out some dreadful sight, and a low dry sob escapes her.

I hope she is quite well," says Dulce, with conventional concern. "Quite, thank you. But she feared the air." "The heir?" says Julia Beaufort, inquiringly, turning to Dicky, who is now unhappily quite close to her. Julia, who never listens to anything, has just mastered the fact that Florence Boer is under discussion, and has heard the word "air" mentioned in connection with her. "Yes.

There is so much genuine pain in her voice that Dulce is touched; she forgets all, condones all; to see a fellow-creature in pain is terrible to this hot-blooded little shrew.

Anyone trying to copy Uncle Christopher's writing would probably succeed in imitating Fabian's perfectly." "Ah! he writes like Uncle Christopher," says Portia, slowly, as though adding another link in her own mind to a conclusion already carefully formed.

"He satisfied the one principal creditor, I suppose?" says Fabian, indifferently. "Oh! impossible," says Sir Christopher. "It came to hundreds, you know; and he hadn't a farthing. Well, good-by; I'm off. Expect me and the bon-bons about dinner-hour." He nods to Portia and Julia, who smile at him in return, and, kissing Dulce, quits the room.

"If you only knew how unhappy it makes us," says Dicky Browne, mimicking Dulce's own manner of a moment since so exactly that they all laugh aloud; and Dulce, forgetting her chagrin, laughs, too, even more heartily than they do. "You shan't have one bit of my jam," she says, threatening Dicky with a huge silver spoon; "see if you do!
