"Is his case so hopeless as that?" said Lady Earlscourt, in a low voice, and Phyllis smiled in response the smile of the guest when the hostess had made a point. When Lady Earlscourt had indiscreetly, but confidentially, explained to some of her guests the previous week that she meant her little dinner party to be the means of reuniting Mr.
Quite a minute had passed before she said: "If he propounds such views without having a firm conviction that they are true, he has acted a contemptible part, Lady Earlscourt. I think far too highly of him to entertain for a single moment the idea that he is not sincere." "But if you believe that he is sincere, why should you say that you will not marry him?"
"I would not marry an atheist, however sincere he might be." "An atheist! But Mr. Holland is not an atheist; on the contrary, he actually believes that there are two Gods; one worshiped of the Jews long ago, the other by us nowadays. An atheist! Oh, no!" "I'm afraid that I can't explain to you, dear Lady Earlscourt." Once more Phyllis shook her head with some degree of sadness.

Let him enjoy his holiday." "Do you fancy he is enjoying himself with Earlscourt and his boon companions? They'll be playing poker from morning till night certainly from night till morning." "Why should he go on the cruise if he was not certain to enjoy himself?" "Ah, that question is too much for me. Think over it yourself and let me know if you come to a solution, my dear."
He comes at express speed from Paris to have a talk, a serious talk, with Mr. Courtland about the mine, and while he is driving from Victoria, Mr. Courtland is driving to the same station with Lord Earlscourt!" "What a series of fatalities!" said Mr. Ayrton. "But what seemed to me most amusing was the persuasiveness of Earlscourt.
