Franklin."

"Don't reproach me, Giles. I had promised Denham to say what I did; and
not even for your dear sake could I break my word. He was a good man in
many ways; but, as you say yourself, it is all over. Let us forget him
and his tragic end."

"And Morley's."

Anne shivered. "He was the worst. Oh, what a terrible time I had on
board that boat, when I found he was deceiving me. I thought he was
taking me to Denham, and I wanted to see what he--I mean Denham--would
say to my mother's statement. I thought he might be able to show that he
was not so bad as she----"

"Not another word," said Ware, taking her in his arms. "Let us leave the
old bad past alone, and live in the present. See"--he took a parcel out
of his pocket--"I have had this made for you."

Anne opened the package, and found therein the coin of Edward VII. set
as a brooch and surrounded by brilliants.

"Oh, how delightful!" she said, with a true woman's appreciation of
pretty things.

"It is the dearest thing in the world to me, save you, Anne," he said.
"Twice that coin brought me to you. But for it I should never have been
by your side now."

"No!"

She kissed the coin again and fastened it at her throat, where it
glittered a pretty, odd ornament.

"You waste your kisses," cried Giles, and took her to his breast.
