“No. But I don’t like him, and he hates me.”

“Why?”

“Because he likes my country.”

“And I suppose you like his?”

“I? No. I have got plenty of land that my father left me. He sent me—you know; I told you—to England.”

“Yes, I know; to be educated and made an English gentleman.”

“Yes,” said the young man, with a sigh; and his handsome half-Spanish countenance clouded over. “And I did work so hard to make myself like you young Englishmen; but I had not the chance.”

“But you did splendidly. I heard of how high a position you took.”

The young Rajah smiled sadly and shook his head.
