Trent was in despair. Presently he began again. "I used to belong to the Guards, - always dined there till Jacques left. Afterwards the cooking was beastly, and - I can't quite remember where I went then. You see - I think I must be getting old. I don't remember things.

Just then Beatrice gave an unearthly screech, that made the horses' knees bend under them. When Keith whirled to see what it was, she was standing upon the rock, with her skirts held tightly around her, like the pictures of women when a mouse gets into the room. "Oh, Mr. Cameron! A sn-a-a-ke!"
