Colonel Arran slowly wheeled in his place and surveyed his unbidden guest: "Well, sir," he said, "continue." "I haven't yet begun." "You are mistaken, Berkley; you have made a very significant beginning. I was told that you are this kind of a young man." "I am this kind of a young man. What else have you been told?"
Master of human destinies am I; Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate; If sleeping wake; if feasting, rise before I turn away.
The light of the song was still in her eyes, but mingled, as she looked round the room to learn who was there, with something of exaltation and defiance. Christian maidens might have worn some such aspect, he thought but he was in love as they passed to the lions.

"And being found, what the better are we? her heart is set dead against us now." "Oh, let that flea stick; come you with me to her house." No, she would not go where she was sure of an ill welcome. "Them that come unbidden sit unseated." No, let Denys be mediator, and bring the parties to a good understanding. He undertook the office at once, and with great pomp and confidence.
Then a vagabond impulse presented itself unbidden in his mind and was frowned down with a blush of apology to himself. And yet he remembered his coquetry with the Lady Ta-meri as some small defense in the form of precedent. "Nay," he replied to this evidence, "it is a different woman. Between myself and Ta-meri it is even odds, and the vanquished will have deserved his defeat."
