Dakota hees got the Star too cheap." He tapped his gun holster significantly. "To-night Dakota hees go somewhere else. To-morrow who takes the Star? You?"

Like th' auld wife's parrot, 'we dinna speak muckle, but we're deevils to think, an' we're aye thinkin' aboot ye.

"Why is that?" "Oh, the Russian play high, yes but the American" she laughed delightedly and stretched her arms wide "he make' it all a joke! He is beeg like his beeg country. If he win or lose, he don' care! Ah, I mus' tell you of my great American frien', that Honor-able Chanlair Pedlow, who is comin' to Rome. You have heard of Honor-able Chanlair Pedlow in America?"

"I think my frien', he alive, too," agreed Jean, "an' I hope, mebbe I shall see again." "You shall see him and so shall Ruth, if letters can accomplish your wish, Jean," promised Grace. "Eight o'clock," announced David judicially.
