"This English puppy, Lord Maltravers. Is it not so, sis?"
"Yes, dear," she replied. "When did you see him?"
"To-day, at the club, and we came near having a row."
"What about?"
"He mentioned your name, and I told him that I did not care to have my sister spoken of in a public place."
"That was right," said Lena.
"Tell me, my pet, which do you like best, Maltravers or Harkaway?"
Lena blushed scarlet.
"I esteem Mr. Harkaway very much," she replied.
"Esteem?" he repeated. "Is not that cold?"
