"Burton it is funny for the moment, Miss Sharp is only marrying me for

some reason for her family, the same one which forces her to work, but I

hope I can make her think differently about it some day."

"Pardon the liberty I am taking, Sir Nicholas, but perhaps she don't

like the idea of Mam'zelle, and don't know she's gone for good."

"That is probably the case."

Burton's wise old face expressed complete understanding, as he left the

room, and presently I was on my way to the Hotel de Courville, a sense

of exhilaration and of excitement and joy in my heart!
