He was in the passage, in the act of settling his account with the waiter, when Thurnall came hastily out, and ran against him. Stangrave stood by the passage lamp, so that he saw Tom's face at once. Tom drew back; begged a thousand pardons; and saw Stangrave's face in turn. The two men looked at each other for a few seconds. Stangrave longed to say, "You intend to shoot me?
We hold in England that an honest man is a match for three rogues. If the same law holds good in the United States, I leave you to settle whether Northerners or Southerners are the honester men." But now, those words of Thurnall's, backed by far bitterer ones of Marie's, were fretting Stangrave's heart. What if they were true? They were not the whole truth.

"But I have not accepted him," cried Marie; "and I will not unless you give me leave." Tom saw Stangrave's brow lower, and pardonably enough, at this.
"I can well appreciate, sir," says he, in return to Stangrave's anxious inquiries, "your impatience to rejoin your lovely countrywomen, who have been for the last three weeks the wonder and admiration of our little paradise; and whose four days' absence was regarded, believe me, as a public calamity." "I can well believe it; but they are not countrywomen of mine.
