"Besides, I have had mine.

Tommy, you too! It is too bad, I shall never dare to close my eyes again." At this point Monck laughed so suddenly and boyishly that she found it utterly impossible to continue her reproaches.

He humbly apologized as he subsided upon the bed, and turning to Tommy who, fully dressed, was reclining at his ease in a deck-chair by its side said with a smile, "You get back to your own compartment, my son.

It isn't good for me to have two people in the room with me at the same time.

And your sister wants to take my pulse undisturbed." "Or listen to your heart ?" suggested Tommy irreverently as he rose.
"Turn him out!" said Monck, leaning luxuriously upon the pillows that Stella arranged for him.
Tommy laughed as he sauntered away, pulling the door carelessly after him but recalled by Monck to shut it.
A sudden silence followed his departure.
