A man that can't be happy with a woman who is willing to "fulfil his destiny" doesn't deserve to be. "Then who stole the devil-stick?"

She bestows her usual bonnie smile upon this stricken girl, and then, passing by her, opens the hall door, and sallies forth into the gray and early morning.

"You found this rich match here," resumed Jen, without noticing the interruption, "in the person of Miss Dallas, already engaged to the late Mr. Alymer." Maurice paused, reflected, and looked anxiously at Jen. He bowed, and without offering his hand--which it is very probable Major Jen would have refused to take--he left the room.
