Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, this was agreed upon, and in due time the four were grouped in the library of the Langdon home, where Malcolm Melvin, with the notes he had made that afternoon before him, began in a monotonous voice to read the stipulations of the document upon which Patricia Langdon had decided that she could rely, to supply a soothing balm for her wounded pride.
"It really was quite important. I should have sought him, instead of coming here." "Indeed?" Beatrice laughed, brightly. "Mr. Melvin seems to be in great demand. Are you and Patricia to follow the French fashion of drawing the marriage-contract? and is Mr. Melvin to act the part of a French notary?"
I strongly suspect, my dear, that you have been actuated by a feeling of false pride, in the position you have taken as to this matter. I won't attempt to advise you, now. Don't sob so, my dear. It will all come out right." She raised her head from the table, and looked at him, pathetically. "I am so sorry, Mr. Melvin," she said, slowly, with a catch in her breath as she spoke.
Then, he addressed the two young people who were his companions in the box. "If you two youngsters care to see this out, I'll leave you here, together," he said. "I have just remembered something I should have attended to, to-night. I must see Melvin, my lawyer. You won't mind, Beatrice, will you, if I leave you in Roderick's care?

The third member of the conspiracy was the physician who came once a week from Angelica City because he himself was a musician and this slowly and courageously dying woman was Royce Melvin.

With a slight inclination of his head, he left the office of the lawyer. He walked as erect as ever; he carried himself no less proudly, although he knew that he was going to his financial ruin unless the unexpected should happen.
If you choose to deny me those rights, the fact will not deter me from proceeding in my own way a way which Mr. Melvin, your attorney, thoroughly understands. I have explained it fully to him." The old man leaned back in his chair, glaring at his daughter, and yet in that burning gaze of his there was undoubted admiration.
George Herbert's have done so to this, and will doubtless do so to succeeding generations. I have but this to say more of him; that if Andrew Melvin died before him, then George Herbert died without an enemy. I wish if God shall be so pleased that I may be so happy as to die like him.
