features.
"How happy we have become, Salve!" she exclaimed. "If it could only have

"I have thought over that, Elizabeth," he said, seriously. "There has
been One at the helm who is cleverer than I, for there was a deal of bad
stuff to be knocked out of me after I returned from that foreign life.
You, poor woman, were the chief sufferer by it, I am afraid."
"And it was I, Salve, who was the chief cause of it all," she replied.
