There was nothing there but the little low cart, with its canvas tilt which was to convey Professor Futvoye and his wife to the place of rendezvous.
Futvoye's and Sylvia's alarm, disappeared through one of the bookcases. "Well," said Horace, gloomily, "you see how I'm situated? That obstinate old devil has cornered me. I'm done for!" "Don't say that," said the Professor; "you appear to be on the eve of a most brilliant alliance, in which I am sure you have our best wishes the best wishes of us all," he added pointedly.

Thus arrayed he re-entered the domed hall, where he was annoyed to find that no attempt had been made as yet to prepare a dinner-table, and he was just looking forlornly round for a bell when Rapkin appeared.
