"David--Etwald, send her away.",“What’s that?” cried Ted Hoyt, stopping in his stride.,"Very good," says Mona, indifferently, after which the woman, having straightened a cushion or two, takes her departure.，“But what is it that has come?”，“He starts that way,” answered Bob. “And I remember a long time ago he asked me to go up to some ranch with him.

The candles were still burning, but Jaggard had fallen from his chair and was lying, a huddled heap, upon the floor. The one window of the room was wide open, and the wind--now blowing freely--was shaking a loose shutter to and fro.
