Her tears or sobs assured him that she had not fainted, and understanding that his wisest policy would be to leave her to her thoughts, he cast an adoring look upon the prostrate figure and quitted the cabin, slamming the door noisily after him that she might know he was gone, but silently turning the key outside, for it was not then his intention that she should go on deck and meet the crew until the statement he had made to Mr Eagle had passed in growling whispers through the men.,"But you didn't cut your throat, after all," says Mona, with a wicked little grimace.,"For heaven's sake don't couple my name with Lady Meg's," interrupted Maurice, sharply. "You know quite well--","There can be only one explanation," he muttered. "David is mad."，"There it is!" said Miss Acton. "Give me a sea as smooth as our lawn, and I will accompany you, my dear."，The idea lodged in Patricia's fertile brain was not so easily routed out.，"I understand," said the Admiral. "This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?""And what has brought you?" demands she, not rudely or quickly, but as though desirous of obtaining information on a subject that puzzles her.

Perhaps something in his face warns her, perhaps it is the weariness of her own voice that frightens her, but at this moment her whole expression changes, and a laugh, forced but apparently full of gayety, comes from her lips. It is very well done indeed, yet to any one but a jealous lover her eyes would betray her.

"When I stay with Uncle Wilfrid in Westmeath, I see them all going to mass every Sunday morning.
