Miss Templeton, though not particularly flattered at being taken for Shiel's mother since, like most ladies of mature age, she wished to be regarded as much younger nevertheless, thought it better not to disillusion the woman. The poor, she told herself, often have very decided views on propriety.
Of course, Gladys assured herself there was no harm in her acceptance of Shiel's escort that neither he nor she meant anything by it that it was on her part merely a sort of an acknowledgment that he had been awfully good to her in her present predicament.
In the meanwhile, John Martin came home one evening in a rare state of excitement. "What do you think!" he exclaimed, throwing a bundle of letters on the table, "one of Dick's speculations has turned out trumps, after all. He had invested several thousands of pounds in Shiel's name in enamel-ivorine, the new stuff for stopping teeth, which looks exactly like part of the teeth.
Thirdly: His statement, at Dundalk, that "one experiment more was to be made, in which every honest man would join." Fourthly: The following passage, which occurred in Mr. Fifthly: The assertion of Mr. Lawless, in a letter to Mr. Sixthly: Mr. Shiel's election, without opposition, when his defeat, if opposed, was perfectly certain.

So long as Gladys was on the stage Shiel's eyes never once left her; whilst throughout the performance Lilian Rosenberg saw only Shiel, thought only of Shiel.

During the time in which Shiel's history was not known might there not have been but no, it could not have been so, for it was Kitty who had sent the letter which had brought her to Askatoon.
With this object in view she went round to Shiel's lodgings, and was informed by the landlady that Shiel was ill. "Nothing serious I hope?" she asked. "It has been," the landlady replied, "but he is better now. It all came through his not taking proper care of himself." "May I see him, do you think?" Lilian Rosenberg inquired. "I don't know," the landlady grumbled.
But such is human nature or at least man's nature that directly Lilian Rosenberg had left him, Shiel's love for Gladys burst out with such wild, invigorated force that it swept reason and everything else before it. Gladys! He could think of nothing else! Every detail in her appearance, every word she had spoken, came back to him with exaggerated intensity. Her beauty was sublime.
