CHAPTER XXIII
Next morning Ruth did not refer to the episode on the sands of the lagoon. You
should break up with Mike if you don’t like him. “You have even her name. He was at length rescued from his assailants,—
rescued to perish, seven months afterwards, with every ignominy, at the very
gibbet to which he had brought his victim. “You are positively eloquent to-night—both of you,” she declared. ‘Don’t concern yourself,’ Gerald said calmly. Perhaps you
will meet him someday. ‘Would it so? What sort of a girl is she, then?’
‘She’s a consummate devil,’ Gerald declared roundly. I will shed
no more blood. But I do hope, Vee, I do
hope—this is the end of these adventures. The young lady I was
with is not married at all. He had not addressed to her even the most ordinary courtesy
of fellow travellers; she doubted that he was even aware of her existence. "
"I feel I have, dear Winny!" replied Thames, abashed at his own rudeness; "my
conduct is inexcusable. ”
