Without vouchsafing a glance of recognition to the Australian, she sweeps past, leaving them again alone. Paul laughs aloud. "But, Geoffrey, why should I be cold to your mother? Sure you wouldn't have me be uncivil to her, of all people?"

Caleb had come to Scotia Settlement when it was little more than a bald spot on the pate of the hardwoods.

"We have all to do that at times," says Sir Nicholas. "And there is another person, mother, I shall be glad if you will send a card to." At this instant a soft ringing laugh, that once heard is not easily forgotten, comes from an inner room, that is carefully curtained and delicately lighted, and smites upon their ears. "You say well," he replied; "I give those women to the punishing society. They know what to do." "It is cruel," says Violet, with suppressed but ardent ire..
