"I yield to the host," said Dan, mockingly. "But I shall be consumed with jealousy until you restore her to me." Monty noticed the look in Mrs. Dan's eyes as she watched her husband go, and marked a new note in her voice as she said, "How this trip is bringing him out." "He has just discovered," Monty observed, "that the club is not the only place in the world."

I fancied I could discern a few fragments of the white car and that was all.
