"Why do you speak of her?" asked Maurice, fiercely, while David looked loweringly at Etwald. "The tramp then; Battersea?" "You certainly do," said Jen, dryly. "Will you repay it by marrying him?" Did any woman ever have a more lovely lover than that? I don't know how long I should have rocked him in the twilight if Dr. John's voice hadn't come across the hall in command..
