"Yes; let Master Raymond take them," exclaimed Stevens.
Salome had the purse intrusted to her by her mother to pay expenses.
"It is better you should begin your responsibilities," her mother had said sadly; "and Stevens will have so much to attend to."
Salome opened the purse and gave Raymond a sovereign.
"Another," he said, waiting.
"That is enough. Four tickets, third class."
"Third class. I am not going to travel third class, I assure you."
