Glendenning said, addressing me, "Don't you think it's time for children to be in bed?" "If you mean me," I answered, "I am just on my way there." Mrs. Tremain and young Howard laughed, and Glendenning after that ignored both Howard and myself. He said to Mrs. Tremain, "I never noticed you wearing that ring before. It is a very strange ornament." "Yes," answered Mrs.
All this time young Howard stood looking at him with a startled expression in his eyes, and his lower jaw dropped. I was afraid Captain Tremain would see him, and wonder what was the matter with the boy. I tried to bring him to himself by stamping my heel not too gently on his toes, but he turned his face in the semi-darkness toward me without changing its expression.
Everybody thought her a Spanish woman; but, as it turned out afterward, she was of Spanish-Mexican-American origin, and whatever beauty there is in those three nationalities seemed to be blended in some subtle, perfectly indescribable way in the face and figure of Mrs. Tremain.
Nancy Tremain had been brought over to tea, one cold, snowy afternoon, at the house where Dampier was painting. She had been dressed all in grey, and the graceful velvet gown and furry cap-like toque had made her look, in his eyes, like an exquisite Eighteenth Century pastel. One glance so Dampier had often since assured her and she never grew tired of hearing it had been enough.
The grave military-looking gentleman at her side was Captain Tremain, her husband, although in reality he was old enough to be her father. He was a captain in the United States army, and had been stationed at some fort near the Mexican border where he met the young girl whom he made his wife.

To have this calm, stern, unsuspecting man come suddenly upon what we had seen at the stern of the boat was simply appalling to think of. He certainly would have killed Glendenning where he stood, and very likely Mrs. Tremain as well. As Captain Tremain essayed to pass us I collected my wits as well as I could, and said "Oh, by the way, captain, I wanted to speak to you about Mexico.
Tremain was a woman whom other women did not like, and whom men did. Glendenning was a man that the average man detested, but he was a great favourite with the ladies. I shall never forget the sensation Mrs. Tremain caused when she first entered the saloon of our steamer.
She had seen absolutely nothing of the world, and they were now on their wedding trip to Europe, the first holiday he had taken for many a year. In an incredibly short space of time Mrs. Tremain was the acknowledged belle of the ship.
Tremain the next day was as bright and jolly as ever, and the last time I saw her, she was smiling over her shoulder at Glendenning, and not paying the slightest attention to either her husband on whose arm she hung, or to young Howard, who was hovering near.
