Catharine, this morning I was practising your death; but methinks I now rejoice that you may survive to tell how the poor mediciner, the pill gilder, the mortar pounder, the poison vender, met his fate, in company with the gallant Knight of Ramorny, Baron in possession and Earl of Lindores in expectation God save his lordship!"
At once, Smithson became apologetic, while refusing to retreat. "I'm very sorry, sir," he said haltingly, "but I thought it wiser, sir, to er to bring the matter to your personal attention."

Perhaps news of Miss Gilder had been sent by wireless to Alexandria, with our humbler names starred as satellites of that bright planet.
