Strange to say, they were not
wrong. Slane did have wretched
temper and moreover he had none of
those graces which are supposed to
attract women. He was gruff and
rough and cranky and inconsiderate
and selfish and several other undesir-
able qualities. In just what strange
moment of mental alteration Mrs
Stare had decided TO wed him was

Unfortunately Slane ran his own

did not seem to be any one with the
