"Mr.Keith, you quoted that to me once; where does it come from?
From the Bible ?" "No." "I read it in the newspaper and was so struck by it that I remembered it," said Mr.Rimmon.
"I read it in 'Laus Veneris,'" said Keith, dryly, with his eyes on the other's face.

It pleased him to see it redden.
Keith, as he passed through the rooms, caught sight of an old lady over in a corner.

He could scarcely believe his senses; it was Miss Abigail.
She was sitting back against the wall, watching the crowd with eyes as sharp as needles.

Sometimes her thin lips twitched, and her bright eyes snapped with inward amusement.

Keith made his way over to her.
