..Hobbledehoy. I" he repeated. You
haven much respect for him.
Il don't fancy him; he has rather

The following day, when Ariandne
went upon deck, her lord met her, as
if he had been waiting for the event,
and begged she would walk with him

"What has Lord Kingsbury been
doing, all day." asked Ariadne, one
night, having been confined in her
/ berth all day with a headache.
s'Oh, he has been glum enough to
please you, answered Lena.
