She had a long search before she discovered the valiant Sinbad in a far corner of the now deserted divan surrounded by a circle of kindred spirits to whom Griffin had delivered her, holding her own with great spirit and enjoyment among the dashing wit and pungent repartee. "He has preserved my sanity, and I owe him a debt of gratitude." "I refuse to marry Mr. Sarby," said Isabella, vehemently. "I hate him!".
