She had prefaced this opinion, how
ever, with the exceedingly irritating
insinuation that Mr.. Blithers was not

face closely he was able to tell when
she was succumbing to reason. lie

reasoned for every one within range OF

be called, and Graustark was not in Il
position to pay out of her own slender
resources, two years of famine having
fallen upon the people at a time when
prosperity was most to be desired.

But all this is beside the question
The young Prince of Graustark was
enjoying American hospitality and no
matter what he owed to Russia, Amer

consideration.
The main point is that the prince was
now rusticating within what you might
call stones throw OF the capacious
and iordly country residence of Mr.
Blithcrs; moreover, he was an uncom

that was SO charged with heartiness

The remark with which Mr.. Blithers
introduces this chapter was in response
to an oft repeated declaration made by
his wife. Mrs. Blithers merely had
stated-but over and over again-that
money couldn't buy everything in the
world, referring directly to social emf
nence and indirectly to their secret
