"I tell you," said Ruth, proudly rearing her head, "if I introduce you as my friend, you are, you must be, presentable." The pale lips strove to answer her. "To-morrow I shall come with a number of names of girls who are 'dying, as they say, to speak Spanish, and then you can go and make arrangements with them. Will you?" Thus pushed to the wall, Rose's tear-filled eyes were her only answer.
Her heart had its own way for a time. In the deep hush that followed, she bowed herself, and kneeled reverently, lifting a sad face and tear-filled eyes upwards with her spirit towards Heaven. She did not ask for strength or comfort she did not even ask for herself anything.
"I I don't quite see how," she faltered and, as they were driving where once she and Raymond had driven, her eyes were tear-filled. The old, dangerous, foolish past had a most depressing effect upon her. At Cameron's second attempt to put her on her feet he succeeded, for when he paid his third call, a quaint little note greeted him at the office: Thank you thank you for all that you have done.

"Perhaps you don't remember it, but that is the place where we met each other for the first time," shouted the General from below, and he waved his hand towards the distance.
