"Then He Will Come Again" Lady Mabel, when her young lover left her, was for a time freed from the necessity of thinking about him by her father.

He had returned from the Oaks in a very bad humour.

Lord Grex had been very badly treated by his son, whom he hated worse than any one else in the world.

On the Derby Day he had won a large sum of money, which had been to him at the time a matter of intense delight,--for he was in great want of money.

But on this day he had discovered that his son and heir had lost more than he had won, and an arrangement had been suggested to him that his winnings should go to pay Percival's losings.
