I've come to stay." "What are these rights you talk of ?" asked Mr.Alwynn, signing to Dare to restrain himself.
"As his wife, sir.

I am his wife, as I can prove.

I didn't come without my lines to show.

I didn't come on a speculation, to see if he'd a fancy to have me back.

No, afore I set my foot down anywheres I look to see as it's solid walking." "Show your proof," said Mr.Alwynn.
The woman ostentatiously got out a red morocco letter case, and produced a paper which she handed to Mr.Alwynn.
It was an authorized copy of a marriage register, drawn out in the usual manner, between Alfred Dare, bachelor, English subject, and Ellen, widow of the late Jaspar Carroll, of Neosho City, Kansas, U.S.A.The marriage was dated seven years back.
The names of Dare and Carroll swam before Mr.Alwynn's eyes.
