I'm a good old rebel, Now that's just what I am! For I won't be reconstructed And I don't care a damn!

"Though he is younger than yourself?" "Well, what then? I am twenty-three. You see we are quite an old couple, for he is almost within a year of being as old. Come; my lord has not yet come down. I have time to show you the roses. I am sure they are the kind you want."

Then the door opened and a tall form entered swiftly, and quick words of welcome and of surprise came from him as he held out his hand heartily.
