It won’t even know whether to be scandalized at us or

back to the shy, blond young man and speaking in undertones of the utmost
clearness, gave a brief and confidential account of an unfounded rumor of the
bifurcation of the affections of Blinders that had led to a situation of some
unpleasantness upon the Borough Council. With his tongue
lolling and his flea-bitten stump wagging apologetically, he glanced from face to
face to see if there was any forgiveness visible. You are—or rather you were——” he corrected
himself with an unpleasant little laugh, “Miss Pellissier, eh?”
A little sensation followed upon his words. She put down the sketch-books and apparatus she had brought with
her, pulled out her stool, and sat down. The ruffian caught hold of her hair, and held her fast. He drove her home that night, kissing her again and

understand. "Begone! or I fire!" he cried. Only I wish—I wish to-day I was a thousand times, ten
thousand times more beautiful.
