"Yes. And she rejected him with the peremptoriness which I should have expected in her." So much had she told him, and the light had gone from her eyes, the song from her lips. The Admiral rose, and addressing her as though she were the consort of a king, said: "Madam, as the father of the person you speak of, I ask Almighty God, who is merciful and knows the human heart, to bless you for your words."
