Duvernois leaned forward in his saddle, and gazed at both without a word or a movement. "Oh, what could have led her to this?" groaned the physician, already too sure that life had departed. "Insanity," was the monotoned response of the statue on horseback. The funeral took place two days later: the coffin-plate bore the inscription, "Alice Leighton, aged 23."
"I can't very well refuse him till he does say so." This was undeniable. Mrs. Leighton could only demand, in an awful tone, "May I ask why if you cared for him; and I know you care for him still you will refuse him?" Alma laughed. "Because because I'm wedded to my Art, and I'm not going to commit bigamy, whatever I do." "Alma!"
So it looked as if Dodger would be compelled to wait at least six months before he should be in a position to set out on the return journey.
