"Well, yes, so they say," returns her visitor, airily who is plainly determined not to be done out of a good thing, and insists on bringing in deliberate suicide as a fit ending to this enthralling tale. "And of course it is very nice of every one, and quite right too. But there is no doubt, I think, that he loved her. You will pardon me, Lady Rodney, but I am convinced he adored Mrs. Geoffrey." "It shall be as you say," replied the Wolf. "It is yours to give." "Beg pardon, I'm sure," says Nolly, absently. "But"—with sudden interest—"do you know what you have done?
