Come on, we'll go up and have tea with the Bellamys. And I I'll be going to-night. I'll say good-bye to you now and perhaps you'll be good enough to make my good-byes to the others " The youthfulness of it did not rob it of real dignity. Isabelle, wretchedly mounting the steps beside him, felt her heart contract with real pain.
"Come; my cigar's gone out, and it never was good for much; let's go in and try the cards, and talk about things; perhaps you'll think of something more about the Bellamys. You said that my grandfather had a classmate" Mrs.
I'll go to the Bellamys', because I promised to, but the day I come back, and that's two weeks from to-day, we'll tell everyone, and this time next year you will have been my wife for six months!"

After the Bellamys' departure, the time wore on at Madeira without bringing about any appreciable change in the situation.
