Still he was not satisfied, and for a long time after the last of the people had passed he remained there. Then he went on across the flat and up and over a ridge, but presently he returned, once, twice, four times, to the crest of the hill and looked back at the place where the camp had been; but at last he felt sure that no one remained at the place, and went on.,At this juncture there was a knock at the door. It was Howard Eliot who had called for Nell.,"I would rather," said the Princess, "be as ugly as you are, and have intelligence, than possess the beauty I do, and be so stupid as I am.",From this speech it was quite evident that the girl was absolutely ignorant of the part which she had played in the affair.
