I am not tired of her. I shall never cease to bless the day I saw her,"—this with great earnestness,—"but you say I have married the handsomest woman in England, and she is not English at all.",CHAPTER VIII.—BETTY VISITS THE CITY OF HER DREAMS.,"The body is gone!" cried David, hurrying toward the bed.,Hinter laughed constrainedly.
