CHAPTER VI

"A Congo in the heat of the afternoon, a jig before sunset,--la! I had rather plough by moonlight.

As well be a grasshopper in a daisy field! Elegance by waxlight becomes rusticity in the sunshine,--and of all things I would not be rustic! Oh, Mr.Cary, I've caught my gown in this rosebush!" Mr.Fairfax Cary knelt to release the muslin prisoner.

"Rusticity becomes you so that if I were a king, you should dance with me the livelong day.
