"Ah, but how about Doris?" questioned Elinor sadly. "Isn't she to be remembered?",Patricia felt a thrill of alarm.,MĪKA´PI—RED OLD MAN,"It is now some months since I wrote you, making certain inquiries, yet you have not been courteous enough to gratify my curiosity. That is cruel of you! Miss Dallas is now Mrs. Sarby, the other lady is now Lady Meg Alymer; yet you will not tell me how this strange transfer of wives came about. Never mind, I am sure the explanation I fancied in my last letter is the correct one. But you are a rude correspondent. Fie, major. Fie! Fie! Fie!,"Oh, no! no!" says Mona, shrinking from him.

It was a simple will, as I remember it, merely stating that 'I something-or-other, Scroggie, hereby bequeath all my belongings, including land and money, to Frank Stanhope.'
