"This is my sister, Marjorie, and I am Kingdon Maynard. Can't I help you pull your wagon? I see you've sold all your things." "Yes; I only had post-cards to sell," said Elsie, "and the people bought them in such big bunches that now they're all gone. So I thought I'd like to go around with you, and help sell your dolls."
"I can't say anything about that. It may have been only a scandal, or, if there was a marriage, it may have been illegal. The Kingdons were Protestants, and the Spaniards are all papists, I suppose. A marriage between a Protestant and a Roman Catholic wouldn't be binding." "Not upon such a man as this Kingdon."
I'm Kingdon Maynard, and this is my sister Marjorie. You fellows took our wood, and now you're going to return it. Is that right?" "Right-o!" said Tom. "Come on, fellows."

His surprise was great when the man informed him that Lady Hurdly had that day sailed for America. Dismissing the servant, he went to the library and shut himself up there alone.

He had been in a hard-drinking cavalry regiment, and had spent all his money, and sold out directly the war was over. There was very little of all this known down hereabouts, where Mr.

'If you meant well by that foolish girl, you wouldn't come sneaking here behind my back, he said; 'but you don't mean well by her, and you've a Spanish wife hidden away somewhere in the Peninsula.

I have seen a letter written by my poor aunt years afterwards a letter that tells much of the cruel truth; and I have heard that Mr. Kingdon came back to Yorkshire and married a rich lady during my aunt's lifetime." "I should like to see that letter," I said, involuntarily.
