"This suspense," he said jerkily, "this suspense is so hard to bear." "Oh, Mr. Irvin, your courage is wonderful," replied Margaret earnestly.

The boy is mad about her, but I fancy she just liked his company. He's the heir of Lord Wrexborough, and Mrs. Irvin used to be a stage beauty. It's a usual state of affairs, and more often than not means nothing." "I dinna ken sich folk," declared Mary Kerry. "They a'most desairve all they get. They are bound tee come tee nae guid end. Where did ye say Sir Lucien lived?"
You mustn't make me lose my train; I've got a date with Vachel Lindsay and Edgar Lee Masters in New York to-night. Vachel's an amusing bird. I must get him over to England and get him started. I've written to Edmund Gosse about him, and I'm going to write again. What a pity Irvin Cobb doesn't write poetry! He's a great writer. What vivacity, what a rich vocabulary!"

"She hate no catchee die," murmured Sin Sin Wa, "She still vella beautiful tchee!"
"If you'll excuse me for a moment," he said, "I should like to ring up and see if by any possible chance there's news of Rita." He walked out to the telephone, and Seton heard him making a call. Then: "Hullo! Is that you, Hinkes?" he asked.... "Yes, speaking. Is Mrs. Irvin at home?" A few moments of silence followed, and: "Thanks! Good-bye," said Gray. He rejoined his friend.
