"Everyone is saying that the Princess—your sister—is the clou of the ball.",,The idea lodged in Patricia's fertile brain was not so easily routed out.，"I need no queen when I have got a king," says the girl, with ready wit and great tenderness.，At this Mr. Rodney moves a shade closer to her.，“Sorry,” sympathized Bob, “but I guess they found I’d got out and that scared ’em.”The Admiral bowed in silence. He was the father of the person they were talking[Pg 183] about. Captain Acton's acceptance of an incident which must instantly prove sinister to a suspicious intelligence was noble and gracious, and it was certainly not for the father to endeavour to prove his son a rogue and a scoundrel, and perhaps worse still, in the teeth of the disposition of his employer to continue to place trust in him.
