"If you can't read, you had better go to bed." Leila broke into tears and stumbled up the stairs with half-blinded eyes. Ann sat long, hearing Penhallow's steps as he walked to and fro. Then she let fall her knitting, rose, and went into the library. "James, forgive me. I was unjust to say such things I was " "Please don't," he cried, and took her in his arms.
"Fire away," said the gallant Penhallow and Polly repeated as nearly as she could remember the tale that Juan Pachuca had told her that night in Athens. Penhallow's eyes snapped.
