"I fear four people in this room would not do," laughed Lucy, rising to
take her leave. "Well, I hope Sir Frank will marry this lady and that
you will become Mrs. Braddock. Only one thing I should like to know."

"Why was the mummy stolen. It was not valuable save to a scientist."
"By that argument a scientist must be the murderer and thief," said Mrs.
Jasher. "However, we shall see. Meanwhile, live every moment of love's
golden hours: they never return."
"That is good advice; I shall take it and my leave," said Lucy, and
departed in a very happy frame of mind.
