"Oh, some joke about bigamy, not worth repeating. I thought I had said something funny, you started so."
"But I didn't start," replied Blair, with a laugh.
"All right," assented Austin Ambrose; "you didn't, then. But I was going to say that another advantage is that Sefton is on the main line, and that you start from the church to that place in Devonshire where you are to be happier than ever two mortals have ever yet been. What is the name of it?"
"Appleford," said Blair.
"You will be down there about five o'clock," continued Austin Ambrose. "Just in time for dinner."
"What do you say, Madge?" asked Lord Blair, in a low voice.
Austin Ambrose rose and strolled toward some flowers.
"I say as you say, dearest," she answered, with a little sigh.
He looked at her.
"Just give me half a hint that you don't like all this secrecy——" he began; but she stopped him, raising her eyes to his with a trustful smile.
