"Light a cigar," she said, soothingly, taking the case from his breast-pocket and opening it. Amidst such caressing signs of mutual fear they parted. The effect that clung and gnawed within Grandcourt was a sense of imperfect mastery. "A wild dedication of yourselves To unpath'd waters, undreamed shores." On the day when Gwendolen Harleth was married and became Mrs.
