She glides back to my bedside before she speaks again. When she does answer, it is in these startling words: "You were mistaken, Mr. Germaine. Your room has been darkened not on your account, but on mine." MISS DUNROSS had so completely perplexed me, that I was at a loss what to say next.
"Not at all not at all," murmured Germaine politely. "Good-bye good-bye," said M. Charolais; and he and his son went to the door, and bowed themselves out. "What creatures!" said Germaine, going to the window, as the door closed behind the two visitors. "All the same, if they do buy the hundred horse-power, papa will be awfully pleased. It is odd about that pane. I wonder how it happened.
Ordinarily he would have taken a quiet hour in the evening to think it all over carefully, but as it happened like Lord George Germaine and the dispatch to Burgoyne social engagements rushed forward to occupy his time. Next morning his mail brought several letters, urging him to set his foot ruthlessly on the serpent-head of hazing. His telephone rang with the same firm counsel.
A few days afterwards at a public dinner, Mr. Cole and Mr. Germaine had some high words, which were repeated by the persons present in various manners; and this dispute became the subject of conversation in the county, particularly amongst the ladies.
