She tells him of it, and he is deeply interested; and when she proposes to write and get him one from her native soil, he is glad as a schoolboy promised a new bat, and her conquest of Sir Nicholas is complete. "He is," says Dorothy, with growing animation. "It is nearly over," he gasps, painfully. "Say good-by to me. Do not quite forget me, not utterly.
