You must still be, as you have always been, and I shall now publicly give out the fact, my immediate successor; and, except for a stated allowance, to be doubled when he marries, which I hope he will, and early, Cardross must still be dependent upon his mother during her lifetime. Afterward he inherits all.
"I hope everything's all right with the Ariani" he murmured; then turned to the girl beside him. "By the way I have a message for you from a man on board; I forgot to deliver it." "A message for me?" "From a very ornamental young man who desired to be particularly remembered to Shiela Cardross until he could pay his respects in person. Can you guess?"
Campbell, anxiously and affectionately, when she reappeared from the Manse kitchen. Then, with a sudden resumption of dignity, "I beg your pardon, Miss Cardross, but this is the first time his lordship has ever been out to dinner." "Oh, nurse, how I wish I might go out to dinner every Sunday! I am sure this has been the happiest day of all my life."
Cardross's grandson, and worthy of them both also because, for his own sake, I respect him, and I love him. I give you the health of Alexander Cardross Bruce-Montgomerie."
