"I must face it," thought she, as the last peal of the gong jarred on her nerves. She descended just in time to see Colonel and Mrs. Rolleston disappear into the dining-room.
Bluebell was playing rather a pathetic sonata; but the time got decidedly erratic, as she stared bewildered at Alec, and then went off into a fit of laughing. "How could you be such a goose? If Colonel Rolleston had been at home, he would have fired his ten-shooter at you." "Tell me which is your window," he whispered, "and I'll give you plenty of music by moonlight.
"Gad," as Calton remarked, after hearing five or six ministers each claim their own church as the one special vessel of safety, "there seems to be a whole fleet of arks!" For Mr. Felix Rolleston, acquainted as he was with all concerned, the time was one of great and exceeding joy.
General Rolleston pressed the doctor's hand, and went away without another word. Only he hurried his matters of business; and took his passage in the Shannon.
Who should bribe him, but the man as owned the ship?" "Miss Rouse," said Mr. Penfold, "I sympathize with your grief, and make great allowance; but I will not sit here and hear my worthy employer blackened with such terrible insinuations. The great house of Wardlaw bribe a sailor to scuttle their own ship, with Miss Rolleston and one hundred and sixty thousand pounds' worth of gold on board!

From these witnesses I hope to get particulars of the dead man's life which may throw some light upon the identity of his murderer." "It is impossible to see either of them at present," replied Dr. Rolleston briskly.
