Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 42 Edric walked silently beside Elsie as the chairman moved on again, waiting in some wonder for her next words. They did not come at once; the red spot died out of her cheeks and she began to glance up at him in her old frightened way. Perhaps there were too many listeners about for her to speak freely.

Besides - I have been so afraid of missing you if you happened to be here -" The slightest shade of disapproval crossed Edric´s face, and his answer was not promptly forthcoming. Elsie felt the cloud and hurried to explain. "I wanted to thank you again for your kindness to us all, and - and - I had something rather important to say." "Wants to get her brother back again, I suppose," flashed through Edric´s mind, but he only looked attention. "I don´t know how you may take it, sir, but I cant help it if you are angry. I must run the risk of that. You may guess how serious it is when I can risk displeasing you," she ended, impulsively. "I am sure you can only mean well whatever you do.
