aggie's farewell gift to England," he said, "the treaty which
Prince Shan never signed."

They stood side by side, watching. With incredible speed, the _Black
Dragon_ passed into the clouds and out again. Then, as it roared away
eastwards, the sun suddenly disclosed itself. The airship mounted
towards it, shimmering and gleaming in every part. Naida passed her hand
a little shyly through her companion's arm.

"Isn't that rather a wonderful way to depart in search of happiness?"
she murmured.

He smiled down at her.

"I do not think that we shall find the search very difficult, dear," he
said, "though our feet may remain upon the earth."

Naida's lip quivered for a moment. Then she caught a glimpse of his face
and gave a little sigh of content.

"There is heaven everywhere," she whispered.
