Shall I say you will excuse her this time, and send her to you? inquired Miss Briggs, who saw that, though Miss Courteney was too polite to say so, she had done wrong. 'I shall be much obliged if you will. I will speak to her about being late, replied Miss Courteney, much relieved. She did not want to contradict Miss Briggs's orders; but she did not want Vava to miss her examination.
A generous benefactor gave a copy of De Lyra's 'Commentaries, which was set upon a desk in St. Mary's Chancel for reference. A large gift of books came from Richard Courteney, the Chancellor of the University; and as a mark of gratitude he was allowed free access to the library during the rest of his life.
But late that night he awoke from troubled sleep to hear Ellis Grant laugh again in careless triumph the laugh of the man who knows that he has drawn a prize. It was not a restful night for Randal Courteney, and in the early morning he was out again, striding over the sunlit sands towards his own particular bathing-cove beyond the breakwater.
How in thunder did she do it? Laid a trap for you; what?" Courteney did not answer. The stiffness was spreading. He felt as one turned to stone.

And then almost before he knew it he was in her presence, face to face with the golden vision that had caught and for a space at least had held his heart.
She was dancing for chance coppers outside a San Francisco saloon when first he made his offer. She refused." Rosemary's soft eyes were suddenly lowered.

The hotel was full, but Courteney, despite his far-reaching fame, was almost entirely overlooked. News had spread that the wonderful Australian dancer was to perform at the Pier Pavilion at the end of the week, and the crowds had gathered to do her honour.
She had been to her sister's office instead of coming to school, so I told her it was not worth while coming in now and disturbing the others, and that she must wait till the bell rings. Miss Courteney looked vexed. 'It is her best subject. I am very sorry. Where is she? she asked. 'In the corridor.
Legitimacy of Mary and Elizabeth's birth. Mary and Elizabeth's differences. Courteney's long imprisonment. Mary's attentions to Courteney. Courteney's attentions to Elizabeth. Mary's plan to get Elizabeth in her power. Elizabeth's wariness. Wyatt accuses Elizabeth. Her seizure. Elizabeth borne in a litter. She is examined and released. Elizabeth again arrested. Her letter to Mary.
He was the son of one of the subordinate officers of the Tower. It was, however, at last suspected that he was acting as a messenger between Elizabeth and Courteney. Courteney, it will be recollected, had been sent by Mary back to the Tower again, so that he and Elizabeth were now suffering the same hard fate in neighboring cells.
