Anyhow, I begin to understand her interest in Penrose now. He is one of a company of heroes. I am already anxious to hear more of him. To-morrow will be a memorable day in my calendar. To-morrow I leave Rome for St. Germain. If any further information is to be gained for Mrs. Eyrecourt and her daughter, I have made the necessary arrangements for receiving it.
He put the question in a tone of passive endurance resigned to the severest moral martyrdom that could be inflicted on him. "I will answer you in two words," said Father Benwell.

Eyrecourt put the letter in her pocket smiling quietly to herself. Applying to Lady Loring's letter the infallible system of solution which she had revealed to her daughter, Mrs. Eyrecourt solved the mystery of the priest's conduct without a moment's hesitation.

"I had the honor of drinking tea with Mrs. Eyrecourt, some little time since," he said. "Her flow of conversation was never more delightful it seemed impossible to associate the idea of illness with so bright a creature.
