Miriam Halden, Mr. Hilton, Griffin, Margaret Howes, Herbert Lester and David—officially known as Francis Edward, but particularly recognized by his twin as Frad—all sat at the same rose-decked table with Patricia, and, as Griffin put it, they made the other tables look "like thirty cents in pennies."

"He was here pretty often last month, but he hadn't been here before that for nearly four years, they said. He's abroad now, isn't he?" "I don't know--I can't say!" interrupted his master, impatiently. "Go and get the men to bring down a stretcher for the body, and send the groom for Dr. Etwald." "Mrs. Dallas?" cried David, starting from his seat. "Did she steal the devil-stick?".
