"Oskar, dear " she whispered, and the next moment Hedin's arms were about her and she could feel the wild pounding of his heart against her breast.

Sarah followed, very disgusted at being accompanied by Peter McNabb, Junior, who worked in his father's blacksmith shop and did not even know that there were such things in existence as Euclid and Algebra. Jessie came next; John Egerton stepped out from the ranks and raised his hat.
