` If you do n't mind , just sit where you are . You may lock this door , if you like , and you will not be disturbed . ' It was an hour before Wentworth returned , but his face was radiant . ` We have done everything we can , ' he said , ` the money is at his order there , if the cablegram gets over before twelve o'clock to-morrow , as of course it will . ' ` Very well , then , good-bye , ' said the girl with a smile , holding out her hand . If any man more miserable and dejected than John Kenyon existed in the broad dominion of Canada , he was indeed a person to be pitied . After having sent his cablegram to Wentworth , he returned to his very cheerless hotel .
