"I sha'n't go to bed at all," declares Mrs. Geoffrey, excitedly. "I shall never go to bed again, I think, until all this is cleared up. Geoffrey, bring me over that chair." "So Warden failed you?" he says, presently, alluding to old Elspeth's nephew. "I don't care to hear about the contents of your wardrobe," interrupts Lady Rodney, with a slight but unkind shrug.

Yet in his heart he knows that he is glad because of her words..
