At last he came. My heart beat thunderously, as he aproached, strideing along in that familiar walk, swinging his strong and tender arms.
I had not had more than between three and four dollars worth of the evening, but I glansed again and Sis was boring holes into me with her eyes. Only Beresford knew nothing, and was trying to hold Sis's hand under her opera cloak. Any fool could tell that.
