Another fear assailed him; would he, too, collapse, leave the little girls alone with the terror of two senseless boys?.

When the party reached the house and St. Elmo had been received with every manifestation of joy, Mr. Wopp in one burst of eloquence explained how his boy Moses had found him. Moses, the hero of the hour, stood abashed before the encomiums of Mrs. Mifsud. He twirled his hat at a fearful rate on his doubled fist, standing awkwardly on one foot the while. “I’m so sorry our afternoon has been spoiled,” she apologized. “While we wait we might as well have a cup of tea.
