"And never come back to it again!" finished Mrs. Dallas, sharply. They had the table arranged in gala array, and the cocoa steaming in its receptacle, before Elinor and Margaret Howes joined them. "Well, just as you please," he said, raising his eyebrows, "but you are as mysterious as David." "Mr. Sarby went out as soon as we discovered the loss, and he has not yet returned.".
