 "You will miss the sunset" he said aside, detaining her. .'Dr. Johns will be gone presently. Let us see the evening star come out together on the last night at sea-"
 'sAnd suppose he married her and lived happily ever after" said Harrisse, having carried his point and turning to Dr. Johns.
 ..No, she wouldn't marry him, but when he died he left her fortune, and she left the profession"

One day he met Dr. Johns coming away from her presence. He had an ail of suppressed excitement about him. Il was year since they had parted on the l Malta.

The words sounded strangely to him he felt dazed and miserable and angry with Dr. Johns, as if his visit had some thing to do with it.
