We exchanged good-byes at this, with perfunctory words, and then she left me to join Lady Johnson and to depart with their company. Later, when I walked homeward with Teunis, sauntering in the moonlight, he imparted something to me which he had heard, in confidence of course, from one of the ladies who had formed the anxious little group that watched our quarrel.
And I explained the grounds for my confidence. "Well, young man," said Dr. Teunis, at last, "if you do not find that gentleman out somewhere, sometime, and choke him, and tear him up into fiddle-strings, you've not a drop of Van Hoorn blood in your whole carcass!" A Crestfallen Return to Albany.
