64 The Craze of Christina. ‘“‘Ah, lam glad! You won't be lost to us at once then!’’ ‘‘Lost? You mean that marriage——”’ “Is a man’s undoing!’’ Then she pushed back her chair, removing her hand at the same time. ‘‘Here is Mr. Bruhen—he is longing to be introduced to you; aren’t you, Fred?”’ Enter Fred, lamps, and tea simultaneously, and the dangers of the situation promptly van- ished. Later on Clifford reflected that perhaps Mrs: Ommaney was not so very far wrong when she had labelled Mrs. Bruhen ‘‘dangerous!”’ But when he left her house it was quite too late to call on Miss Ashley, and the blinds of the ‘‘olde shoppe”’ were all closely drawn.
