The lady was young and beautiful, and her face was stern, and her dark eyes looked indignantly toward the Baron. "Who are you?" she asked, abruptly; "and what do you want?" "Me? I'm the Baron Atramonte; and I want Min. Don't you know where she is?" "Who?" "Min."

'Wilfred and Valetta knew, said Dolores, rather sullenly. 'Oh! but it was such fun, said Val. 'It was fun that became unkindness on your part, said her mother. 'You ought not to have kept it up without warning to her. And what do I hear about names? I hope that was also misunderstanding of the game. What did you call her?

"I'm glad you've spoken up like this, Pen," Miles said slowly, "for if you hadn't, we couldn't have been friends any more. I promised Meg I wouldn't tell anybody but I've asked her to marry me ... and though she isn't over keen, I believe I'll get her to do it some day." "Isn't over keen?" Lady Mary repeated indignantly. "Why, she ought to be down on her knees with joy!" Miles laughed.
