"Well, the old fury sees what you want, my dear lad, and so she is determined that Isabella shall marry David and not you.

In spite of all his conjecturing, the major found himself unable to answer this question. Therefore, like a wise man, he possessed himself in patience until the next morning. Most of the night he passed in the room where poor David was laid out, for he was determined that this time the body should not be stolen.

It had not been found in his house, and, notwithstanding all questioning, Etwald--with his changeless smile--had refused to state where it was.

"Suppose we do without hot things today?" she proposed. "The tables look pretty full in there. We mightn't get a place if we delay too long." "I don't think so," said David resolutely. "We haven't such a lot of time to be together that we need anyone else butting in. I'm satisfied as we are.".
