Since seeing mine he has been seized with a desire to possess it.",CHAPTER II,The Admiral made his son welcome with unusual warmth.,"How did she get into the room?","She didn't know you to be the man that gave her the letter that brought her here?"，Patricia expected Margaret Howes as she emerged to show some surprise or annoyance at this summary mode of speech, but she was as serene and unconscious as ever.，Mr. Ringold fairly gasped. "Oh, the thankless, misguided wretches!" he exclaimed. "And to think that we were foolish enough to feel that we hadn't treated 'em with Christian kindness.
