He was a young man one but little versed in the ways of women yet some instinct warned him that there was a nobility in Iris Yorke's nature that might set self at naught and urge her to share her companions' lot, even though certain death were the outcome. They passed together through the cavern. Watts, sound asleep, was lying there.

Pitt failed in his object of enlisting Yorke's services on behalf of Wilkes in the coming parliamentary campaign, and the crisis ended in an estrangement between the two, which drove Yorke into a loose alliance with the Rockingham Whigs, a group of statesmen who were determined to free English politics from the trammels of court influence and the baser traditions of the party system.

Yorke, I do not see that I can reasonably admit any other hypothesis. I therefore claim that phrase of his brother's as a solution of the supposed mystery of Charles Yorke's death.

"Jenkins is not in a fit state to get out of his bed, and I have come to tell Mr. Galloway so," replied she. Roland Yorke's face grew to twice its usual length at the news. "I say, though, that will never do, Mrs. Jenkins. What's to become of this office?" "The office must do the best it can without him. He's not coming to it." "I can't manage it," said Roland, in consternation.

Something about the placid voice and air of the lady, and the knowledge she displayed of the affairs of others, awoke old associations in Keith, and turning to take a good look at her, he recognized Mrs. Nailor, the inquiring lady with the feline manner and bell-like voice, who used to mouse around the verandah at Gates's during Alice Yorke's convalescence.
