For a time only the tunmd of his laboured breathing filled the silence and the three stayed so, the woman collapsed against a chair. Motnuri swaying and blinking stupidly, and Grejisou. struck dumb incredulous, empurpled at first and then slowly paling. Without a word I he spun on his heel, returned to the table, and poured himself a drink and ! tossed it off. "Respectabiliey !" he said, in the tone ; of conversation, caught his collar and j ripped it loose. "By heaven." he cried, and wrung his great hands. "What am I going to do now?"

And that father of yours—that snivelling old hypocrite —he'll crawl to make the lines if I "Whpn I think" how I've dreamed of you!
