"I shall be delighted, Mr. Haydon," she said primly, to the great gratification of Judith, who had previously arranged this incident. "When will you return?" "I have explained that to the best of my ability," responded Etwald, coldly, "and now, Mr. Alymer, as our hostess is approaching you must excuse my replying to any further questions. If you want further insight into my character, call upon me at Deanminster." "No!" said David, faintly, turning his face away. "At least not yet.".
