"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale But Maxwell still lingers, looking first at her and then very intently at her companion. "To-day, you mean: you will only have to wait a few short hours," she says, gratefully. "Let us leave this hateful room," with a shudder.

"How odd Nolly is at times!" says Violet, yet without any very great show of surprise.

In the confusion the gun goes off, and the bullet, passing by Rodney's arm, tears away a piece of the coat with it, and also part of the flesh. But this he hardly knows till later on..
