“Well and happy,” I said; “in a safe haven with a faithful friend. Lady Biddulph will pardon me, bringing such tidings, for rushing in in my war-paint, American fashion.”
“You are always welcome, Mr. Wade, in what costume you please,” said she. “Doubly so with this happy news. My dear Ellen! I must see her at once,—as soon as closer friends have had their hour. But, Mr. Brent, you are not going without your breakfast!”
Everybody smiled.
“Come! Come!” cried Brent.
“Come!” and as we hurried away, there was again the same light in his eye,—the same life and ardor in his whole being, as when, in that wild Love-Chase on the Plains, we galloped side by side.
THE END.
