'Don't spare money on it,' urged his visitor; 'be sure and make it
plain to him.'

'I think that will do, don't you?'

'Yes,' she answered, after reading the despatch; 'that will do.'

'Now,' she said, 'here is the cheque. Shall I wait here while you do all
that is necessary to cable the money, or had I better go, and return
again to see if everything is all right?'

'If you don't mind, just sit where you are. You may lock this door, if
you like, and you will not be disturbed.'

It was an hour before Wentworth returned, but his face was radiant.

'We have done everything we can,' he said, 'the money is at his order
there, if the cablegram gets over before twelve o'clock to-morrow, as of
course it will.'

'Very well, then, good-bye,' said the girl with a smile, holding out her
hand.
