"I would like to," said Jane Gilman with an expression of pleasure. "I haven't seen him since he was a baby. I'd like to see how he looks now."
"When he is restored to his title and estate he will not see you suffer."
"When will you start for Bar Harbor?"
"We shall leave Scranton by the next train."
