"Yes, sirree, I get you all right," was Earle's reply as he gripped the astonished man's right hand and shook it heartily, smiling in his eyes as he did so. "Gee!" he exclaimed, turning to Dick, "we're getting on like a house afire.
They went to the piano, where Lord Airlie awaited them; and Lillian, looking at her small, jeweled watch Lord Earle's present saw that it wanted three minutes to nine. She at once quitted the room, unobserved, as she thought; but Lionel saw her go. No words can tell how distasteful and repugnant was the task she had undertaken. She would have suffered anything almost to have evaded it.
Both were cultivated, graceful, elegant girls, and Lady Earle often sighed to think they should be living in such profound obscurity.

"I know nothing of it, my lady," said the worthy lodge keeper, who was even more surprised than his master had been. "Young Ralph Holt wants to marry my daughter, and I have said that she shall be his wife. I never dreamed that she knew the young master; she has not mentioned his name."
