I will not gratify your curiosity. You are too curious, husband" and she turned from me, smiling, upon the couch. I felt that what she might tell me to-morrow could have nothing to do with the affair between herself and Edgerton. THAT could be no object for jest and merriment.
But you may want some small amount to begin with you can not draw upon Mr. Edgerton before services are rendered, and if fifty or a hundred dollars, Edward " "I thank you, sir; so far from wanting money, I should be almost able to lend some. I have saved some two hundred from my mercantile salary" I enjoyed the ghastly grin which rose to his features.
Billy, wretched creature, I haven't laid eyes on you for two months! Do you have to desert me entirely, just because you've fallen in love with a society girl with the face of a Japanese doll-baby? What's the matter with me, that I lose my lovers faster than I get them? Edgerton Rosythe, come in here you've got a good excuse, I admit I'm almost as much scared of your wife as you are yourself.
"I never heard of such ridiculous laws!" "Ignorance of the law excuses no one!" murmured Wilfred. "It don't excuse a lawyer!" she snorted. "I have an idea you don't know much more about the law this kind of law, anyway than I do. I bet it is against the law to go round a corner at more than four miles! Do you want to bet me?"

Leave her, and in twenty minutes she and Edgerton will be together." Such was the whisper of my demon. I did leave her.

It's owing to him that we've ferreted you out at last. So you can go right ahead and tell us the whole story. Did Danvers give you the papers?" "Yes.
No family could have been more truly amiable than this; and William Edgerton was the most amiable of the family. I have already said enough to persuade the reader that he was a very worthy man. He was more. He was a principled one. Not very highly endowed, perhaps, he was yet an intelligent gentleman.

I probed him keenly, and in such a manner as to make him wince with apprehension at every word which I uttered. Morally, William Edgerton was a brave man. Guilt alone made him a coward.
