Come, Mr.Browne, shall we look for the Princess ?" "With pleasure, if you'll promise to spare Deppingham's life." "On condition that you will spare Deppingham's wife," very prettily and airily.

Mrs.Browne laughed with amazing good grace, but there was a new expression in her eyes.
"Your ladyship," called Saunders desperately, "do you approve of my plan?
It's only a subterfuge--" "Heartily!" she exclaimed, with one of her rarest laughs.

"The only objection that I can see to it is that it leaves out my husband and Mrs.
Browne.

They are very nice people, Saunders, and you should be more considerate of them.

Come, Mr.Browne." She took the American's arm and gaily danced from the room.
