"What kept you, Bobby," she said, "a business engagement, or did you fall asleep?" "Neither," said the earl; "I lost a shirt-stud." "Your eminence is served," said the major-domo. They stood while the cardinal said grace, at the conclusion of which, all, except the earl, crossed themselves. "Was it a valuable jewel, my lord?" asked Miss O'Kelly, in an interval of her soup.
Joe was not only up, but was bowing with the regularity and precision of the arms of a windmill, his fingers, with every rise, fluttering between his shirt-stud and his eyebrows. On his second upsweep the young prince got a view of his face then his hand went out. "Why, it is Hornstog! We know each other. We met in Damascus. You could not, monsieur, find a better dragoman in all Constantinople."
