"You shall know in a few minutes, major. Indeed, I think it is about time that this comedy should end!" "Never mind explaining, Mr. Alymer. I can guess your objection. I am too old, too plain, too poor for this charming young lady. You, on the contrary, are young, passing well off, and handsome--all the gifts of fortune are on your side. Decidedly," added the doctor, "you hold the best hand. Well, we shall see who will win this game--as we may call it." "Very well, lady, very well, indeed. I met Mr. Alymer, and he gave me half a crown.".
