CHAPTER XVII THE DREAD DAY DAWNS "You are not likely to go mad," he said, smiling at her, and his handsome face with that smile lighting it up might have helped to conquer any woman, though betrayed into the imprisonment of a ship's cabin, and sailed away with into unknown regions, who in her heart of hearts felt towards this man as Lucy Acton did. But not in the way that Mr Lawrence had devised was the victory to be his. "All right," gruffly assented his companion, "if you're so cock sure, it suits me all right.
