Look here!" Engleton touched his forehead.
"Hearts!" he said.
He touched his lip.
"Diamonds!" he added.
He passed his fingers across his eyebrows.
"Clubs!" he remarked.
He beat with his fourth finger softly upon the table.
"Spades!" Major Forrest rose to his feet.
"Lord Ronald," he said, "I am exceedingly sorry that owing to my introduction you have become a guest in this house.

As for your ridiculous accusation, I deny it." "And I," the Princess murmured.
"Naturally," Engleton answered smoothly.

"I really do not see what else you could do.

I regret very much to have been the unfortunate means of breaking up such a pleasant little house-party.

I am going to my room now to change my clothes, and I will trespass upon your hospitality, Mr.De la Borne, only so far as to beg you to let me have a cart, or something of the sort, to drive me into Wells, as soon as your people come on the scene." Engleton rose to his feet, and with a stiff little bow, walked toward the door.
