Their quick-tempered little guest had been a "kill-joy" in spite of her name. But the afternoon was not over yet. What happened next, I will tell you in another chapter.

Norah suspected they both came from Mrs.
"Oh, I have no wish to be a kill-joy," she protested. "I'm sure I hope all manner of good results from the the experiment." "I suppose that's what it comes to," he said, meditatively. "It's all an experiment. Every marriage in the world must be that neither more nor less." "With all the experience of the ages against its coming out right."
He may have been one of the Wesleyan sort, like such a lot of the Cornish; he may have been a kill-joy, too; but whether he was or not, he hadn't quite converted her in the time, and what I'm seeing now, I judge, is the young woman slowly coming back to herself under the influence of this Latin chap.
