readjust things," he said. "We might have guessed she would
be in London, on account of this royal wedding. It is a great
pity it isn't later in the season, when there would be more
things going on and more chances of meeting her. Now they
will all be interested in themselves, and, being extremely
exclusive, no one who isn't a cousin to the bridegroom or an
Emperor would have any chance at all. Still, I can see her!
I can look at her, and that's something."

"It is better than a photograph, anyway," said Miss Morris.

"They will be either at Buckingham Palace or at Windsor, or
they will stop at Brown's," said Carlton. "All royalties go
to Brown's. I don't know why, unless it is because it is so
expensive; or maybe it is expensive because royalties go
there; but, in any event, if they are not at the palace, that
is where they will be, and that is where I shall have to go too."

When the train drew up at Victoria Station, Carlton directed
Nolan to take his things to Brown's Hotel, but not to unload
them until he had arrived. Then he drove with the ladies to
Cox's, and saw them settled there. He promised to return at
once to dine, and to tell them what he had discovered in his
absence. "You've got to help me in this, Miss Morris," he
said, nervously. "I am beginning to feel that I am not worthy
of her."

"Oh yes, you are!" she said, laughing; "but don't forget that
`it's not the lover who comes to woo, but the lover's WAY of
wooing,' and that `faint heart'--and the rest of it."
