CHAPTER III
28/44

"Shall I relinquish my partner ?" "No, no, Alphingham; you are better suited to her here.

If you see my sister, you will not be content with me.

She will use every effort to surpass me in your good graces; for when I tell her I have seen the brave admiral whose exploits have often caused her cheek to flush with pride--patriot pride she calls it--she will be wild till she has seen you." "Will she--will she, indeed?
