I fell asleep in the library, after Mr. Sarby had gone to bed; and, of course, I had every confidence in you.","It is quite an old story," goes on Nolly.,"I don't mean him,"—severely: "I mean the brother you called 'Old Nick'—Old Nick indeed!" with suppressed anger.,He did laugh, yet was sober again.
