"Dearest," she
added, with one of her swift swoops of thought, "what was that
funny title the British Secretary of Legation had?"
"What? Oh, Captain the Honorable Carey Knowles?"
"Yes. Well, I shall have a much nicer, more picturesque title than
that when we come back to Caracuna--dear, dirty, dangerous, queer,
riotous, plague-stricken old Caracuna!"
"Then my liege ladylove intends to come back?" he asked.
"Of course. Some time. And in Caracuna I shall insist on being
Mrs. the Unspeakable Perk."

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
