"Will you introduce her into society, Philippa ?" "I think not; she is a simple child, yet wonderfully clever.

No, society shall not have her.

I will keep her for my own." "What is her name ?" asked Lord Arleigh.
The duchess laughed.
"Ah, now, man-like, you are growing curious! I shall not tell you.

Yes, I will; it is the name above all others for an ideal--Madaline." "Madaline," he repeated; "it is very musical--Madaline." "It suits her," said the duchess; "and now, Norman, I must go.

I have some pressing engagements to-day." "You will not introduce me then, Philippa ?" "No--why should I?
You would only disturb the child's dream.".
