Excerpt: ... to mouth, but Margaret did not believe it. If she had known that the facts were accurately told, whatever their meaning might be, she would have taken them for further evidence against the accused. As for Miss More, she was guided by her duty to her employer, or her affection for little Ida, and she seemed to be of the charitable sort, who think no evil; but after what Lord Creedmore had said, Margaret had no doubt but that it was Mr. Van Torp who provided for the child, and if she was his daughter, the reason for Senator Moon's neglect of her was patent.

'You have had some singular offers of marriage, ' said Logotheti in a tone of reflection. 'You will probably marry a beggar some day-a nice beggar, who has ruined himself like a gentleman, but a beggar nevertheless!' 'I don't know, ' Margaret said carelessly. 'Of one thing I am sure. I shall not marry Mr. Van Torp.' Logotheti laughed softly. 'Remember the French proverb, ' he said. '"Say not to the fountain, I will not drink of thy water."' 'Proverbs, ' returned Margaret, 'are what Schreiermeyer calls stupid stuff. Fancy marrying that monster!' 'Yes, ' assented Logotheti, 'fancy!'
