He had been in Orange the day before, and the young lady in the case had told him how you had protected him at your own expense he made that funny too, but I thought it very fine behavior very fine, indeed, sir." Rex's face flushed under this.
"This is the Burton cottage," she answered, "and I am Ruth Burton. What can I do for you?" "I would like to see Daisy Brooks, if you please. She is here, I believe?" he said, questioningly. "May I come in?" Rex's handsome, boyish face and winning smile won their way straight to the old lady's heart at once. "Perhaps you are the young lady's brother, sir?
Little Birdie alone held aloof, much to Rex's amusement and Pluma's intense mortification. "Little children often take such strange freaks," she would say to Rex, sweetly. "I really believe your little sister intends never to like me; I can not win one smile from her." "She is not like other children," he replied, with a strange twinkle in his eye.
"Oh no! I shall be all right," said Norah bravely. For a few moments she had been horribly frightened, but Rex's matter-of-fact speech had restored her confidence in his leadership. Of course the passage must have an outlet.
"And I allow no one to strike me," blustered Mr. Stout, launching out a blow directly at Rex's face. Rex dodged and planted another blow on Mr. Stout's chin. Then they both went at it. Sometimes one was struck, sometimes the other. I am aware that this is contrary to all precedents in story writing.

She had no warning of the relentless storm-cloud that was gathering above her head and was so soon to burst upon her in all its fury. She walked among her guests with a joyous, happy smile and the air of a queen. Why should she not? On the morrow she would gain the prize she coveted most on earth she would be Rex's wife.
"If I tell you something, will you promise to keep it a secret till till everybody knows it, as they will probably in a day or two?" "Of course I will. It must be something mighty important from your mysterious air, old fellow." "It is, awfully important." Rex's eyes were fixed on Scott's trowsers. He saw that they were a new pair, evidently purchased to be worn on the trip.
It is necessary, however, to consider the development of Rex's character during the year which followed the wedding, in order to understand the events which afterwards occurred. It had been his intention to undertake a journey to South America, when all was settled, in order to wind up his father's affairs, and ascertain the extent of the fortune he inherited.
