"No! I disliked him no end when we first met. But as there was no reason for me to do so I grew to like him."
"Ah!" said the doctor with a world of meaning, "second thoughts are not always best. Have you met the man who wanted to marry Alice?"
"Narvaez? Yes! He's a beast. I shall never get over my dislike for him."
"You must not dislike him or any one," corrected Eberstein softly. "Pity Narvaez and pity Enistor, but be on your guard against both."
"What can they do?" asked Montrose, with the disdainful confidence of youth.
"Enistor can do nothing alone. Directed by Narvaez he can do much. And he will," concluded the doctor with emphasis.
"Does the trouble you predicted come from that quarter?"
"Yes!"
"Well, it is two against two. Alice and I can fight her father and Narvaez."
