Arnold was immovable.
"Say something to encourage me before I go," he pleaded.

"One word will do.

"Quite impossible!" she rejoined.

"If you want any more encouragement, you must speak to my uncle." "I'll speak to him," returned Arnold, "before I leave the house." There was another cry for "Mr.Brinkworth." Blanche made another effort to push him out.
"Go!" she said.
