i should think you would not wear that ring it is too like hers it is as though you were plighted to her by it .
yes it is like her own she gave it
she gave it to my mother long ago

i 'm afraid that we are making ourselves a nuisance to you i heard the watchmen patrolling the walks last night .
yes it was quite feudal ! i felt that we were back at least as far as the eleventh century . the splash of waterwhich you can hear when the lake is roughmust be quite like the lap of water in a moat . but i did not hear the clank of arms .
no ijima wears blue serge and carries a gun that would shoot clear through a crusader . the gardener is a scotchman and his dialect would kill a horse .

why do n't you avert danger and avoid an ugly catastrophe by confessing to miss pat that your duty and sympathy lie with your father ? it would save a lot of trouble in the end .
i do n't know what you mean ! i have never been spoken to by any one so outrageously ! my position is hard enough it is difficult enough without this . i thought you wished to help us .
do you mean to tell me that you have not talked with your fatherthat you have not seen him here ?
yes i have seen himonce and it was by accident . it was quite by accident .
yes i know of that
then you have been spying upon me mr . donovan !
why did you tell me that outrageously foolish tale about your chess game when i knew exactly where you were at the very hour you would have had me think you were dutifully engaged with your aunt ? it seems to me my dear miss holbrook that that is not so easy of explanation even to my poor wits .
that was without purpose really it was ! i was restless and weary from so much confinement you ca n't know how dreary these late years have been for usfor meand i wished just once to be free . i went for a long walk into the country . and if you saw me if you watched me
i came upon him by accidenti had no idea he was here
you are not growing tired of us you are not anxious to be rid of us ?
i certainly am not i ca n't tell you how glad i am that you have decided to remain here . i am quite sure that with a little patience we shall wear out the besiegers . our position here has you may say the strength of its weaknesses . i think the policy of the enemy is to harass you by guerilla methodsto annoy you and frighten you into submission .
yes i believe you are right
i hope you have had no misgivings miss pat since our talk yesterday .
none whatever i am quite persuaded in my own mind that i should have been better off if i had made a stand long ago . i do n't believe cowardice ever pays do you ?
miss holbrook you are the bravest woman in the world ! i believe you are right . i think i should be equal to ten thousand men with your spirit to put heart into me .
do n't be foolish but to show you that i am not really afraid suppose you offer to take us for a drive this evening . i think it would be well for me to appear today just to show the enemy that we are not driven to cover by our little adventure in the launch yesterday .
certainly ! shall we carry outriders and a rear guard ?
not a bit of it . i think we may be able to shame my brother out of his evil intentions by our defenselessness .

i have n't a care or trouble in the world i am sure that we have known the worst that can happen to us in annandale . i refuse to be a bit frightened after that drive .
it was charming this is better than the english lake country because it is n't so smoothed out .
i will grant you all of that i will go further and admitwhat is much for methat it is almost equal to killarney .

i had given you up
i should have come across the world you must believe that i should not have asked this of you if i had not believed you could do it without injury to yourselfthat it would impose no great burden on you and that you would not think too ill of me
i love you i am here because i love you !

if there is more i can do !
no and i should not ask you if there were . i have gone too far as it is
you must take no risks you must take care that miss pat knows nothing .
no i must see father . he must go away . i believe he has lost his senses from brooding on his troubles .
but how did he ever get here ? there is something very strange about it .
oh i knew he would follow us ! but i did not tell him i was coming herei hope you did not believe that of me . i did not tell him any more than i told you .
you did not need to tell me i could have found you anywhere in the world helen . that man donovan is watching you like a hawk but he 's a pretty good fellow with a milesian joy in a row . he 's going to protect miss pat and you if he dies at the business .

i telegraphed to chicago for a draft . he will have to leave here to get itthe bank at annandale carries no such sum and it will be a means of getting rid of him .
oh i only hope he will leavehe musthe must !
you must go back these matters will all come right in the end helen there is one thing i do not understand .
oh there are many things i do not understand !
the thing that troubles me is that your father was here before you .
nothat is n't possible i ca n't believe it .
he had engaged the stiletto before you came to annandale and while i was tracing you across the country he was already here somewhere . he amuses himself with the yacht .
yes i know he is more of a menace that wayalways in our sightalways where i must see him !

helen !
no ! please do n't !

ah so it 's our young and gifted irish friend ! no more sprinting stunts for me ! i decline to run . the thought of asparagus and powdered glass saddens me . look at these handsthese little hands still wrapped in mystical white rags . i have bled at every pore to give you entertainment and now it 's got to be twenty paces with birdguns .
what mischief are you in now ? i thought i warned you gillespie i thought i even appealed to your chivalry .
my dear fellow everything has changed . if a nun in distress appeals to me for help i am johnnyonthespot for mother church .
that was not the sister it was miss holbrook . i saw her distinctly i heard
by jove this is gallant of you donovan ! you are a marvelous fellow !
i have a right to aski demand to know what it was you gave the girl .
matinee ticketsthe american girl without matinee tickets is a lonely pleiad bumping through the void .
you are a contemptible ass . your conduct is scoundrelly . if you want to see miss holbrook why do n't you go to the house and call on her like a gentleman ? and as for her
yes and as for her ?
and as for her ?
as for her she may go too far !
she is not answerable to you . she 's the finest girl in the world and if you intimate
i intimate nothing . but what i saw and heard interested me a good deal gillespie .
what you heard by stealth creeping about here at night prying into other people 's affairs !
i have pledged myself to care for miss pat .
it 's noble of you donovan ! miss pat suggests nothing to me but 'button button who 's got the button ? ' she 's a bloomin ' aristocrat while i 'm the wealthcursed child of democracy .
you 're a charming specimen !

you 've got to leave the lake you 've got to go .
then i 'm going thank you !
is that you sir ? i thought i heard some one talking .
it is nothing ijima .

i shall refuse to leave when my time is up ! do you think you could spend a winter here helen ?
i should love it ! it would be perfectly splendid to watch the seasons march across the lake . we can both enroll ourselves at st . agatha 's as postgraduate students and take a special course in weather here .
if i did n't sometimes hear trains passing annandale in the night i should forget that there 's a great busy world off there somewhere i am ashamed of myself for having been so long discovering this spot . except one journey to california i was never west of philadelphia until i came here .

there is no one quite like her !
she is beautiful !
should you like to look over the house ? it is said to be one of the finest houses in interior america and there are some good pictures .
we should be very glad
but we must not stay too long aunt pat . mr . donovan has his own affairs . we must not tax his generosity too far .
and we are going to send some letters off today . if it is n't asking too much i should like to drive to the village later
yes and i should like a paper of pins and a new magazine
certainly . the stable is at your disposal and our entire marine .
but we must see the glenarm pictures first
whistler ! i thought that picture was owned in england .
it was but old mr . glenarm had to have it . that meissonier is supposed to be in paris but you see it 's here .
it 's wonderful !

miss holbrook is on the balcony
oh very well . we must go

the view here is fine is n't it ?
you are incomparable ! verily a daughter of janus has come among us !
