He must have been as pale as I was, and for an eternity of a second he looked at me, then suddenly heaven shone from his eyes and he opened his arms to me with just one word. "Mrs. Dallas?" cried David, starting from his seat. "Did she steal the devil-stick?" The question he could not answer, so dismissing it from his memory, he retired to the smoking-room with a pipe and a novel.
