Read a passage
'Be patient, Trevor Chute; they are sure to be here to-day, old fellow, for Ida told me so.'
'Yes, Mrs. Beverley; does that surprise you?' asked the other, with a singular smile—one that was rather sardonic.
'No, Jerry, I have long ceased to be surprised at anything. As I have told you, my special mission in town is a visit to her; but—so you and she are good friends still?'
'Yes, though she has been six months a widow, we are on the same strange terms in which you left us last—friends pure and simple.'
'As yet,' replied Jerry Vane, lowering his voice, with something of despondency perceptible in his tone, and to a close observer it might have been apparent that he, though by nature frank, jovial, and good-humoured, had, by force of habit, or by circumstances, a somewhat cynical mode of expression and gravity of manner.
