“MY DEAR GIRL,—
“I am so sorry if we made asses of ourselves to-night. Ann Veronica was in their very forefront. Turning, she heaved at the bottom door and slammed it in his face just
as he came leaping forward to grab her. She held out her hand for it, but Gerald smiled. They drove around town that night in his Buick
convertible. She has power over men’s fates in
more ways than one. In the hall below she could
hear his firm voice giving quick commands to the servants. "
"Allow me to offer you a glass of usquebaugh, my dear," said Kneebone, turning
from him, and regarding Edgeworth Bess with a stare so impertinent, that even
that not over-delicate young lady summoned up a blush. And probably the girl
would wear herself out, too. Meanwhile, the mob outside had prodigiously increased, and had begun to
exhibit some disposition to riot. ‘But I have been
perfectly honest about that. “If I thought for a moment that
there was any chance of a relapse, I should stop here and tell him the truth even
now. The poor wretch, driven by
desperation to the commission of a crime which her soul abhors, is no more
beyond the hope of reformation than she is without the pale of mercy. She must learn wisdom—as God
pleases. Having disposed of his steed and
swallowed a glass of brandy, without taking any other refreshment, he threw
himself on a couch, where he sank at once into a heavy slumber.
