When it was anâ€" swored, he ordered his carriage, and a quarter of an hour later was rolling down Regent Street. t "I want a nice wedding present for a young lady,""‘ he said, when the other had asked what he could have the pleasure of showing him. ‘"‘Diamonds, I think, for preferâ€" ence." A | tray containing hairpins, brooches, rings, and aigrettes set with stones was put before him, but Carne was not satisfied.

He had long since made up his mind as to his line of action, and having done so, was now prepared to start business without delay. On leaving the shop he had ordered his coachman to drive home ; but on second thoughts he changed his mind, and, once more pulling the check string, subâ€" ifituted Berkeley Square for Park ane.
