"I will—when I find it," returns she, with an irrepressible glance, full of native but innocent coquetry, from her beautiful eyes.

"For the future your services will not be required here. Your new master, Mr. Paul Rodney, whom you have chosen to obey in preference to those in whose employ you have been, will give you your commands from this day. Go to him, and after this try to be faithful." All through the air the smell of heather, sweet and fragrant, reigns. Far down, miles away, the waves rush inland, glinting and glistening in the sunlight. She lays her hand upon her heart, as though she would say, "The wound lies here," and once more turns to the door. "Very," returns he, surprised. He has not thought of her as one versed in lore of any kind. "What poets do you prefer?".
