"Look at the worms," said the Prince engagingly, opening the box with a snap. "Oh!" cried the young lady, starting back.

Rolfe felt it incumbent upon him to be gallant in the presence of the fair representative of a nation whom he vaguely understood placed gallantry in the forefront of the virtues.
