"It is a HARP, as sure as I am alive!" Then electrically from Francesca, "It is Patricia's Irish lover! I forget his name." "Rory!" "Shamus!" "Michael!" "Patrick!" "Terence!" "Hush!" she exclaimed at this chorus of Hibernian Christian names, "it is Patricia's undeclared impecunious lover.

Well, I never was any good at dissembling. I shouldn't wonder if even old Peppmüller noticed something through his double convex lenses. But however crazy I may have been as an undeclared suitor, I am going to be much worse now.

So the stranger of undeclared intentions was set down to a mighty feast. A talkative bird he was, full of most marvellous loud tales and exploits, and speaking a language at times obscure but never colourless.

He had given no thought to himself as Margaret's lover. He had been content to be her partner in that tip-toe dance of expectation and in that state of undeclared devotion which is the life and breath of a woman's existence.
