"Oh, dear, I hope he isn't going to get on that bed." Ricky opened the door wider. "No, there he goes under instead of on it. Can you see him, Val?" Her brother crouched and lifted the edge of the brocaded cover which swept to the floor. To Val's surprise a thin line of light showed along the wall at the head of the bed. "Ricky, look behind the head of the bed! Is it fast against the wall?"
I am not going to tie myself up with a wife, or to think of one either, for many a long year to come." Her heart beat with a painful throbbing. "Why not?" "No danger. My wild oats are not sown yet, any more than Val's; only you don't hear of them, because I have money to back me, and he has not.
Val's awfully cut up about it." "Is he?" said the doctor. "Yes. Dear old Val. Dev'lish hard Rip's never making it up with him again, wasn't it? Rip didn't know a good fellow, did he, doctor?"

"That is Val's voice," said Lawrence. He stood up, no longer pale. "Heavens, I can't face him!" "Oh dear!" said Isabel in dismay. She was no more anxious for them to meet than Lawrence was, but Val's footstep on the turf was dangerously near.
You'll feel ever so much better when it's all over." "I don't know what I've done," said Soames huskily; "I never have. It's all upside down. I was fond of her; I've always been." Winifred saw a drop of blood ooze out of his lip, and the sight stirred her profoundly. "Of course," she said, "it's been too bad of her all along! But what shall I do about this marriage of Val's, Soames?
Val hated her husband, and her husband did not seem to care much for her. They were tied together legally. And a mere legality could not hold back the emotions and the desires of Kent Burnett. With him, it was not a question of morals: it was a question of Val's feeling in the matter. Val looked up at him, found something strange in his eyes, and immediately looked away again.

Now, dressed in a pair of Val's white slacks and a shirt from his wardrobe, Jeems was as much at ease in his surroundings as Rupert or Holmes. It had been Jeems who had saved Ricky and Val on that night of terror when they had been trapped in the secret ways of their pirate ancestors. Sam Two had trailed Ricky to the garden and had witnessed their entering the tunnel.
Now keep quiet. We'll be there soon." "Ah ain't a-goin'," he declared mutinously. "Don't be silly," Ricky scolded him; "we're taking you. Does Val have to come and hold you down?" "Ah can't!" His eyes flickered from Val's face to hers. There was something more than independence behind that firm refusal. "Ah ain't a-goin' theah." "Why not?" He seemed to shrink from her.
