For example, there is poor Mary of Burgundy, who is to marry the French Dauphin. I pity her. For all we know, she may be longing for another man as I I longed for my mastiff, Caesar, when I was away. By the way, Sir Max, are you still wearing the ring?" She took his hand and felt for the ring on his finger. "Ah, you have left it off," she cried reproachfully, answering her own question.
"Max telephoned that the Chases are coming to-night Neil and Dorothy, on their way somewhere. Isn't it horrible? What do you suppose they'll think of things here?" "Well, well old Neil's coming to show us his chest expansion, is he? And my Lady Dolly! Hum well I guess it will do'em good to see how some people live. Mrs. Chase will bring four trunks and a lot of hand stuff, will she?
"The right of private judgment, indeed!" answered Max, with great contempt. "I hold that no person can have a right, on any pretence whatever, to entertain erroneous opinions on important subjects, affecting the welfare of mankind. If a man does entertain such opinions, it is the duty of those who know better to convince him of the error by the most effectual arguments at their command.
Max heard it through the scratching of the beetle in his brain. Sanda! Yes, Sanda might care a little, a very little, when she had time to think of him Sanda, who loved another man, but had promised to be his friend. He thought of her eyes as they had looked at him that day in the Salle d'Honneur. He thought of her hair, her long, soft hair.... "She'd be sorry if I let go," he said to himself.

She sprang to his side and he put his arm about her. "The danger is happily past, my pet," he said, touching his lips to her cheek; "so dry your eyes and think of something else, something pleasanter." "You've got enough of skating, I suppose, Lu? you won't want to try it again, will you?" asked Max. "Yes; if papa will let me. I'd like to go back this afternoon.
Suddenly Max had a sensation of being very small, very insignificant; suddenly he had an impression of Blake as a denizen of a wider world, where other emotions than laughter and comradeship held place and his heart trembled unreasonably. "Oh, mon cher!" he cried. "Forgive me! Forgive me! Say I am still your boy! Say it! Say it!"
"Oh, what a pretty lady!" cried Gracie, holding out an eager hand for it. Max gave it to her, and Lulu sprang up and bent over her to get a good view of it also. "Who is it?" she asked. "Isn't she pretty? isn't she perfectly beautiful, and sweet-looking as she can be?" said Max, ignoring the question. "Yes, she's just lovely; but why don't you say who she is, if you know?"
We left Strasburg by the north gate, and, as the city fell back of us, Max, riding by my side, asked: "What is the evil news that has cast this gloom over Yolanda and good Castleman?
