All this time Billy was junketing abroad, where every year he painted masterpieces for the Salon, which--on account of a nefarious conspiracy among certain artists, jealous of his superior merits--were invariably refused. Now Billy is back again in America, and the Colonel has insisted that he come to Selwoode, and Margaret is waiting for him in the dog-cart. The glow of her eyes is very, very bright. Her father's careless words this morning, coupled with certain speeches of Mr. Kennaston's last night, have given her food for reflection. \"He wouldn't dare,\" says Margaret, to no one in particular. \"Oh, no, he wouldn't dare after what happened four years ago.\" And, Margaret-like, she has quite forgotten that what happened four years ago was all caused by her having flirted outrageously with Teddy Anstruther, in order to see what Billy would do.", " CHAPTER FOUR OF THE EAGLE'S SHADOW BY JAMES BRANCH CABELLE THE SLIPPER OF OX RECORDINGS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN RECORDING BY JOHN M WILSON ORIGINALLY RELEASED THROUGH BUREAU FORTY TWO DONATED TO LIVER BOX WITH HIS EXPRESS PERMISSION" ], "begin_byte": 39168, "end_byte": 39448 } } ]
