"I beg your pardon," I interrupted, for he seemed to be addressing himself exclusively to me; "but who on earth are you talking about?" "I am talking of the Apse family," he answered, courteously. I nearly let out a damn at this. But just then the respected Miss Blank put her head in, and said that the cab was at the door, if Mr. Stonor wanted to catch the eleven three up.

The Socialist had seized with fervour upon his last chance, and was flinging out showers of caustic advice among his foes, stirring them up to frenzy. Stonor, with contracted brows, had stared one dazed instant as the head of the new-comer came up behind the lion on the left. Jean, her eyes wide, incredulous, as though unable to accept their testimony, pressed a shade nearer the monument.

Richard Farnborough, too, just on the very verge of asking Hermione to marry him! 'Oh, is that it? the girl smiled wisely. 'No! Too late Mrs. Heriot saw her misstep. 'That's not it! And I am sure, if Mr. Stonor knew what I do, he would agree with me that you must not ask her to the house. 'Of course I'd do anything he asked me to. But he would give me a reason.

'Use her hold over Geoffrey Stonor to make him help us. 'To help you? 'The man who served one woman God knows how many more very ill, shall serve hundreds of thousands well. Geoffrey Stonor shall make it harder for his son, harder still for his grandson, to treat any woman as he treated me. 'How will he do that? said the lady coldly. 'By putting an end to the helplessness of women.

Stonor emitted a short, sardonic laugh. It was very impressive, but I didn't see the fun. I looked from one to another. The stranger on the hearthrug had an ugly smile. "And Mr. Apse shook both Mrs. Colchester's hands, he was so pleased to hear a good word said for their favourite. All these Apses, young and old you know, were perfectly infatuated with that abominable, dangerous "

Lord John came forward, leaving Stonor to his hostess. 'Still talking over your Shelter plan? he asked benevolently. 'No, answered Miss Levering, 'we left the Shelter some time ago. He pinched his niece's ear with affectionate playfulness. 'Then what's all this chatterment about? The girl, a little confused, looked at her fellow-conspirator.

'Oh, the echoes! the echoes! She lay back in the chair. 'How often you used to say, if I "knew your father." But you said, too' her voice sank 'you called the greatest "barrier" by another name. 'What name? So low that even he could hardly hear she answered, 'The child that was to come. 'That was before my father died, Stonor returned hastily, 'while I still hoped to get his consent.

'It would be nuts for Stonor to catch us sitting at the feet of Mrs. Thomas. He positively chuckled at the absurdity of the situation. He had slipped back into his corner, but he couldn't help craning his neck to watch those two leaning over the door of the hansom, while they discussed some point with animation. Several times the man raised his hand as if to give an order through the trap door.

"Will you order Stonor to have the house ready for us on Friday, when I shall return home in time for dinner? Let me again congratulate you, most sincerely, on your choice. I always thought you had more common sense, as well as genius, than any young man, I ever knew: you have shown it in this important step.

'I'm sure, Lady John put in, 'you gain more votes by being able to reach so many more of your constituents than we used 'Well, I don't know, said Stonor. 'I've sometimes wondered whether the charm of our presence wasn't counterbalanced by the way we tear about smothering our fellow-beings in dust and running down their pigs and chickens, not to speak of their children.
