But you're the man to marry a wife; and if I guess the lady, she's a sensible girl and won't be jealous. I 'd swear she only waits for asking. 'Then you don't guess the lady, said Redworth. 'Mary Paynham? The desperate half-laugh greeting the name convinced more than a dozen denials. Sir Lukin kept edging round for a full view of the friend who shunned inspection.

She paused, hesitating, then with a shy half-laugh: "I really believed I was selling myself, Mr. Marlow. And I was proud of it. What I suffered afterwards I couldn't tell you; because I only discovered my love for my poor Roderick through agonies of rage and humiliation. I came to suspect him of despising me; but I could not put it to the test because of my father. Oh!

He hastily dressed himself and went about the business he was bidden on. "Madam the Virgin," said Borso, with a half-laugh, "that is a fine young man! If he had not made so free with my chimneys I would advance him. Advanced he shall be!" he cried out after a while. "Zounds! has not Guarino made free with his wife? Eh, but I fear it." He shook his nightcap at the thought.

"Then I would back them, if I could, and tail the heaviest hawser on board on the end of the chain before letting go, and if she parted from that, which is quite likely, I would just do nothing. She would have to go." "Nothing more to do, eh?" "No, sir. I could do no more." He gave a bitter half-laugh. "You could always say your prayers." He got up, stretched himself, and yawned slightly.

Mrs. Barker, with a half-laugh, sat down irresolutely. Mrs. Horncastle gazed at her curiously; she was evidently a novice in this sort of thing.

After an awkward pause Mrs. Barker rose again.

"Then, as to the duties," continued he, "I believe, if I am rightly informed, there can hardly be said to have been any duties hitherto," and he gave a sort of half-laugh, as though to pass off the accusation in the guise of a pleasantry.
