Charles raised his hat again, and drew back without one word.  He waved his hand to Amelia and walked home with me to Cannes.  He seemed deeply dejected.

“A penny for your thoughts!” I exclaimed, at last, in a jocular tone, trying feebly to rouse him.

He turned to me, and sighed.  “I was wondering,” he answered, “if I had gone to prison, would Amelia and Isabel have done as much for me?”

For myself, I did not wonder.  I knew pretty well.  For Charles, you will admit, though the bigger rogue of the two, is scarcely the kind of rogue to inspire a woman with profound affection.

THE END

The Project Gutenberg Etext of An African Millionaire, by Grant Allen ********This file should be named 8frml10.txt or 8frml10.zip********

Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, 8frml11.txt VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, 8frml10a.txt

This text produced for Project Gutenberg by Don Lainson and Andrew Sly.  The two independently prepared versions have been thoroughly compared and had many minor errors corrected to make this text.

We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.  Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the official publication date.

Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.  The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so.

Most people start at our Web sites at:  http://gutenberg.net or http://promo.net/pg

These Web sites include award-winning information about Project Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).

Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
