Little Less,
their jocund confidante and courier (and who was as sagacious as a
spaniel), always attended them on these occasions, and whene'er they
rambled through the woodland paths. While the band played strains
from Beethoven Mendelssohn, Bach and others, they promenaded the long
corridors of the hotel. And one evening, as Beatrice lighted the gas
by the etagere in her charming boudoir in their suite of rooms, there
glistened brilliantly a valuable solitaire diamond on her finger.

romance, and around a cheerful hearth we see again Geoffrey and
Beatrice, who are paying due homage to their tiny friend Leicester.

1. A sacrilegious son of Belial, who suffered from bronchitis and
diphtheria, and had taken much morphine and quinine, having exhausted
his finances, in order to make good the deficit, resolved to ally
himself to a complaisant, lenient, docile, young woman of the
Caucasian race. Buying a calliope, a coral necklace, an illustrated
magazine, and a falcon from Asia, he took a suite of rooms, whose
acoustic properties were excellent, and engaged a Malay as his
coadjutor.
