While they were all at dinner Violet explained to her husband why Mr. Rockharrt had directed her to return home. Poor Violet was very loth to stir up any ill feeling between the father and son; but she need not have feared. Mr. Fabian understood the autocrat too well to take offense at the dismissal of his wife.
At last Rose got up in some agitation and hurried out of the room. Then old Aaron Rockharrt came up to the young people and stood before them. There was something so ominous in his attitude and expression that his two grandchildren looked dismayed even before he spoke.
But all three had spoken at the same time, so that Rose Stillwater heard but one voice clearly, and that was the Iron King's. Mr. Clarence, however, went and opened the piano for her.

The members of the committee bowed with offended dignity and withdrew to the front of the hall. Meanwhile Aaron Rockharrt sent back the members of his own family, and strode solemnly into the drawing room, which was half darkened by the closed window shutters.

I shall just wait to see Mr. Fabian Rockharrt and give my report to him in all its details, as I promised, and then hurry home and go to bed. I have had no sleep for the last twenty-four no, bless my soul! not for the last thirty-six hours!" replied the physician.

Then, believing that my presence distressed you, I went away." "Oh, Rule!" After a little while Rothsay inquired: "Was not that Mr. Clarence Rockharrt whom I saw with you by the spring?" "Yes; Uncle Clarence. He helped me up to this ledge, and then he stayed outside while I came in here to look for you." "Let us go and bring him in now, dear," said Rule. And the two walked out together.
She came in very softly, crossed the room, sat down on the sofa beside Cora, and slipped her arm around the lady's waist, purring and cooing: "I have been waiting to find you alone, dearest. I just heard your brother go down stairs. Mr. Rockharrt has told you, dear?" "Yes; he has told me. Take your arms away from me, if you please, Mrs.
Stillwater was staying, and engaged rooms for their whole party. They scarcely took time enough to wash the travel dust from their faces and brush it from their hair, and change their traveling suits for fresher dresses, before they hurried down stairs to their private parlor, whence Mrs. Rockharrt sent her own and her granddaughter's cards to Mrs. Stillwater's room.
