DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD f -y ,.. Kare&re&ra NO xwxmcmi 'VVVWAV sstfsraAj: "MY GODl" Synopsis. Dyck Calhoun, gifted young Irish gentleman of the time of the French and American revo lutions, meets Sheila Llyn, seventeen-year-old girl visiting In the neighborhood. They are mutually attractod. Shotla never knew her dissipated father, Errls Boyne, her mothor having divorced him. In Dublin Leonard Mallow and. Dyck fight with swords and Dyck Is vic tor. Errls Boyne, secretly In French employ, gets Dyck drunk and tries to persuade him to Join In revolt against England. They quarrel. While Dyck Is overcome with drugged wine, Boyno's second wife enters tho room and stabs her faithless husband to the heart Dyck Is arrested on a charge of murder. He does not know If ho killed JQoyne or not Sheila begs her mother to go to Dublin with her to help Dyck. Mrs. Llyn op poses the Idea. A letter from Mrs. Llyn'e wealthy brother In America decides them to go and live with him. Dyck refuses to enter any plea except "No Defense." He might have escaped by revealing Boyno's treachery but refuses on Sheila's account He Is sent to prison for eight years. Sheila writes Dyck, assuring him of her belief in his lnnoocence. Released after serving four years, Dyck finds himself destitute, his father dead. In London Dyck receives a letter from Sheila Inviting him to come to America and sending money for the voyage. Ho feels he cannot in honor go to her. Dyck joins the British navy as an enlisted man. Bad conditions In the fleet result In mutiny. Dyck, Joining the muti neers, Is chosen by them to com mand the ship, the Ariadne. Dis satisfied with tho conduct of the other ships' crows, Dyck breaks with them and sails tho Ariadne to tho West Indies. He arrives In time to turn the tide of victory In a battle between the French and English fleets. Calhoun Is arrested for his part In the mutiny but thanked by the admiral for his work In the battle Tho British government gives Dyck tho free dom of the Island of Jamaica, of which his old enemy, Lord Mallow, Is 'governor. With a companion, Dyck secures treasure worth 40,000 from a sunken Spanish ship, and becomes a wealthy' and respected planter. Sheila comes to Jamaica. Dyck and Sheila's mother decide that the girl must be told all the truth about her father's death. Dyck tells Sheila that tho man for whose murder he was convicted was her father. o (CHAPTER XV Continued.) 10 Mrs. Llyn was playing a bold, In deed, a reckless game. She wanted to show Dyck there were others who would Interest themselves In Sheila even If he, Dyck, were blotted from the equation; that the girl could look high, If her mind turned toward mar riage. Also she felt that Dyck should know tho facts before any one else, so that he would not be shocked In tho future, If anything happened. Yet In her deepest heart she wished him well. She liked him as she had never liked any of Sheila's admirers, and if the problem of Errls Boyne had been solved, she would gladly have seen him wedded to Sheila. "What has the gove'rnor to do with it?" he declared. "It is your daugh ter's own property, and she is free to hold or to part with It. There Is no crown consent to ask, no vice-regal approval needed." Suddenly he became angry, almost excited. Ills blood pounded In his veins. Was this man, Mallow, to come between his and her fate always, come Into his problem at tho" most critical moment? "God In heaven 1" he said in a burst of passion, "Is this a land of tho British empire or Is" It not? Why should thnt man break In on every crisis? Why should he do this or thnt say yea or nny, give or take away? Ho Is the king's representa tive, hut he is bound by laws ns rigid as any that bind you or me. What has he to do with your daughter or what concerns her? Is there not enough trouble In the world without f.ringlng l Lord Mallow? If ho" He stopped short, for he fiw coin ing from the summer-house, Shelln with his paper In her hand. She walked slowly and with dignity. But In her face there was no summer, there was only autumn and winter, only the bright frost of purpose. As she came, her mother turned ns though to leave Dyck Calhoun. She called to her to wait, and Mrs. Llyn stood still, anxious. As Sheila came nenr she kopt her eyes fixed qn Dyck. When she reached them bhe held out tho paper to him. "It Is wonderful," she snld quietly, "that which you have written, but It does not tell nil; It does not say that you did not kill my father. You aro punished for tho crime, nnd wo must abide by It, even though you did not kill Errls Boyne. It Is the law that has done It, and we cannot abash the law." "Wo shall meet no more, then 1" said Dyck with decision. Her lips tightened, her face paled. "There are some things ono may not do, and ono of them Is to be openly your friendat present." He put tho letter carefully nway In his pocket, his hand shaking, then flicking an insect from the collar of UtA coat, he suld gently, yet with a DEFENSE By GILBERT PARKER Author of "The Seats of the Mighty," "The Right of War" air of warning: "I have been telling Mrs. Llyn about tho Maroons up there" ho pointed toward Trclawncy "and I have advised your going back to Virginia. The Maroons may rise at any moment, and no caro is being taken by Lord Mallow to meet tho danger. If they rise, you, here, would bo In their way, and I could not guar antee your safety. Besides, Virginia Is a better place a safer plnco than this," ho added with meaning. "You wish to frighten me out of Jamaica," she replied with pain In her voice. "Well, I will not go till I have put this place In order and brought discipline and good living here. I shnll stay here In Jamaica till I havo done ray task. As for the Maroons, when the trouble comes, I shall not be unprepared," she smiled sadly. "The governor mny not take your ad vice, but I shall. And remember that I come from a land not without Its dangers. Wo had red Indians and blck men there, and I can shoot." He waved a hand abruptly and then made a gesture such as an ascetic might make of reflection, of submis sion. "I shall remember every word you have said, and every note of 'your voice will be with me In all tho lone ly years to come. Good-by but no, lot me soy this before I go: I did not know that Errls Boyno was your fa ther until after ho was dead. So, If I killed him, It was in complete Ig norance. I did not know. But we have outlived our friendship, and we must put strangeness in its place. Good-by God protect you !" he added, looking into Sheila's eyes. She looked at him with sorrow. Her lips opened, but no words came forth. He rjassed on out of the garden, and presently they heard his horse's hoofs on the sand. "Ho Is a great gentleman," said Mrs. Llyn. Her daughter's eyes were dry and fevered. Her lips were drawn. "We must begin the world again," she said brokenly. Then suddenly she col lapsed and sank upon the ground. "My God oh, my God I" she said. CHAPTER XVI. Lord Mallow Intervenes. Two months went by. In that time Sheila nnd Dyck did not meet, though Dyck saw her more than once In the dlstnnce nt Kingston. Yet they had never met Blnce thnt wonderful day at Salem; when they had parted, as It might seem, forever. Dyck had had news of her, however, for Darius Bo land had come and gone between tho two plantations, nnd hnd won Michael Clones conlldence. Ho know more, perhaps, than he ever conveyed to Dyck, who saw him nnd tnlked with him, gave him advice as to the cus toms of Jamaica, nnd let him sec the details In tho management of En nlsklllen. One dny Boland brought word that tho governor hnd, more than once, visited Salem with his suite; that he had sat in Judgment on a case In Kingston concerning the estate of Sa lem, and hnd given decision In Its fa vor; and thnt Mrs. Llyn and Shell.! visited him nt Spanish Town nnd were entertained at King's house at second breakfast nnd dinner In short, 'that Lord Mallow was making hay In Salem plantation. This was no sur prise to Dyck. He had full Intuition of tho foray the governor would make on Shelln, her estate and wealth. Lord Mallow had acted with dis cretion, and yet with sufliclent pns slon to warrant some success. He was trying to make for himself a fu ture which might mean the control of a grenter colony even. If he had wealth, that would ho almost a cer tainty, nnd he counted Sheila's gold ns a gunrnntee of power. So, stcndlly nnd happily, he pressed his suit, t his dinner-parties he gave her first place nearly always, and oven broke tho code controlling precedence when his secretary could be overruled. Thus Sheila was given honor when sho did not covet It, and so It was that one day nt Salem when the governor came lo court her sho was able to help Dyck Calhoun. "Then you go to Ennlsklllen?" Lord Mallow said to Darius Boland, as ho entered the plantation, being met by the astute American. "Sometimes, your honor," 77ns the careful reply. "I supposo you know what Mr. Cal houn's career has been,. eh?" "Is It true you believed he'd strike a mnn that wasn't armed, sir?" Tho governor winced, but showed nothing. "He'd been drinking ho Is n heavy drinker. Do you never drink with him?" Dnrlus Bolnnd's faco took on n strange look. Hero was an Intended Insult to Dyck Calhoun. Bight well tho governor knew their relative so cial positions. Darius pulled at the hair on ills chin reflectively, "Yes, I've drunk his liquor, but not ns you mean, your honor. He'd drink with any mnn at all; he has no nasty pride. But he doesn't drink with me." "Modest enough ho Is to be a good republican, eh, Boland?" "Since your honor puts It so, it I must stand- III not dispute It, me be ing w hut I am and employed by whom I am." Darius Boland had a gift of saying tho right thing In the right way, and ho had said it now. Tho governor was not so dense as to put tills mnn against him, for women were curious folk. They often attach Importance to the opinion of a faithful servant and let It weigh against great men. Ho had once lost a possible fortune by spurning n llttlo terrier of the daugh ter of tho earl of Shallow, and tho lesson had sunk deep into his mind. "Ah, well, ho has drunk with worse men than republicans, Boland. He was a common sailor. Ho drank what was given him with whom It chanced In the fo'castle." Dnrlus sniffed a little, and kept his head. "But ho changed all that, your honor, and gave sallormen bettor drink than thoy ever hnd, I hear. In Jamaica he treats his slaves as though they were men and not Mohicans." "Well, ho'll have less freedom in future, Boland, for word has como from London that he's to keep to his estate and never leave it" Darius looked concerned, and his dry faco wrinkled still more. "Ah, nnd when was this word come, your honor?" "But yesterday, Boland, and ho'll do well to obey, for I havo no choice but to take him In hand If ho goes gallivanting." "Gallivanting hero, In Jamaica I Does your honor remember where wo are? Gnllvnntlng where should ho gallivant?" The governor waved a contemptu ous hand. "It doesn't need ingenuity to find a place, for some do it on their own estate. I havo seen it." Darius spoke sharply.- "Your honor, there's naught on Mr. Calhoun's estate that's got the tnlnt, and he's not tho man to go hunting for It Drink well, supposo a gentleman does take his quantern, Is It a crime? I nsk your honor, Is that a crime In Jamaica?" "It's no crime, Bolnnd; neverthe less, your Mr. Calhoun will havo to take his fill on his own land from the dny I send him the command o the London government." "And what day will that bo, your honor?" To be questioned by one who hnd been a revolutionary wns worse than distasteful to the governor. "That day will bo when I find the occasion opportune, my brave Bolnnd," he said sourly. "Why 'brave,' your honor?" There was an ominous light In Dnrlus' eye. "Did you not fight with George Washington against the king of Eng land against King Gcorgo? And If you did, wns that not brave?" "It was true, your honor," came tho firm reply. "It wns the ono right good Brouaht Word. thing to do, ns we proved it by tho victory we had. Wo did what wo set out to do. But see, if you will let a poor man speak his mind, If I were you I'd not Impose the command on Mr. Calhoun." "Why, Bolnnd?" Darius spoke courageously. "Your honor, ho has many friends In .In mnlca, and they won't stand It. Be sides, ho won't stand It. And If he contests your honor, the island will be with him." The governor winced, hut he snld: "It's what I am ordered to do, my man. I'm n fcervnnt of the crown, nnd tho crown has ordained It," Dnrlus grow stronger In speech. "But why do you hnve plcnsuro In It? Is nothing left to your Judgment? Do you say to mo thnt If he keeps the free dom such as ho has enjoyed you'd pun ish him? Must the governor bo us ruthless as his master? Look, your honor, I wouldn't Impose thnt com mandnot till I'd taken his advice about the. Maroons, anyway. There's trouble brewing, nnd Mr, Calhoun knows It. IIu has warned you through the pravost-marshal. I'd heed hl warning, your honor or It may Injure Ono Day Boland Copyright t7 Rtr Gilbert Farkar your reputation ns n ruler. No, I'd sco myself li nethermost h 1 before I'd meddle with Mr. Calhouit. He's a dan gorous man when ho's moved." "Bolnnd, you'll succeed as a school master, when all clso falls. You teach persistently." "Your honor Is clever enough to know what's what, but I'd Uko to sco the Maroons dealt with. This Is not my country, but I'vo got Interests hero, or my mistress hns, nnd that's tho sumo to mo. . , . Docs your honor travel often without a sulto?" Tho governor waved a hand behind him. "I left them at the last planta tion and rode on alone. I felt safe enough till I saw you, Boland." He smiled grimly, and a grimmer smllo stolo to the lean lips of the man ager of Salem. "Fear is a good thing for forward minds, your honor," ho said with respect in tho tono of his voice and chnllengo in tho words. "I'll say this, Boland, your mistress has been fortunate In her staff. You havo a ready tongue." Darius' looks quickened, and ho Jerked his chin up. "So, your honor, so. But might I nsk that you weigh carefully the warning of Mr. Calhoun? There's trouble nt Trelawney. I havo It from good sources, and Mr. Calhoun has made preparations against the sure rlslngsT I'd tnko heed of what ho says. Ho knows." Tho governor touched up his horse. "Boland, I'll think over what you'vo said about the Maroons and Mr. Cal houn. Ho's doing no harm us ho Is, that's sure. So why shouldn't ho go on as ho Is? That's your argument, Isn't it?" Boland nodded. "It's part of my nrgument, not all of It. Of course, he's doing no hnrm; he's doing good every dny. no's got a stiff hand for the shirker and the wanton, but ho's a man that knows his mind and that's n good thing for Jamaica." "Does ho come here ever?" "Ho has been here only once Blnco our arrival. There aro rensons why he does not como, as your honor kens, knowing tho history of Errls Boyne." A quarter of an hour later Darius Boland said to Sheila: "Ho's got an order from England to keep Mr. Cal houn to Ills estate and to punish him, If he Infringes the order." Shelln started. "He will infringe tho order if it's made, Boland. But tho governor will be unwlso to try to Impose it I will tell him so." Sheila had changed since she snw Dyck Calhoun last Her faco was thin ner, but her form wns oven fuller than It was when sho bade him good-by, as it seemed to him, forever, and us It at first seemed to her. Through anxious dnys and nights sho had fought with tho old passion ; and nt last it seemed the only way to escapo from the tor ture was by making nil thought of him Impossible. How could this bo done? Well, Lord Mallow would offer a way. Lord Mallow was a man of ancient Irish family, wns a governor, had abil ity, was distinguished looking in a curious, lean wny; and he had a real gift with his tongue. He stood high In tho opinion of the big folk at West minster, nnd had a future. He had a winning wny with women a subtle, perniciously nttractlve wny wlthMier sex, and to herself ho hnd been deli cately persunslve. Ho had tho ancient gift of plcturesqueness without orna mentntlon. He hnd a strong will and n healthy Imagination. He wns u man of mottle and decision. Of nil who had entered hei field outside of Dyck Calhoun ho was the most attractive; he was the nearest to the possible husband which she must ono day take. And If nt nny dny at all, why not now when Bho needed .1 man as sho had never done when she needed to forget? Sho wns deluding herself to believe that whut she was doing wns all for Iho best; that tho clouds were rising; thnt her fate had fairer aspects than hnd seemed possible when Dyck Oil houn told her the terrible tnlo of tho death j)f her futher, Errls Boyne. Yet memory gave u touch of misery nnd bitterness to all she thought and did. For twenty-live years sho hud lived In Ignorance ns to her paternity. It sure ly was futile that her mother should liavo suffered all those years, with llt tlo to cheer her, while her daughter should be radiant In health and with n mind free from caro or Madness. m tho bitterest thing of all was the thought that her father was a traitor and had died sucrlflclng another man, When Dyck hnd told her first, sho had shivered with anger and shame hut anger and shame hud gone. Only one thing gave her nny comfort tho mnn who knew Erris Boyno wns a traitor, and could profit by telling It, held his tongue for her own sake, wept his own counsel, and went to prison for four years as tho price of his own silence. Ho wns now her neighbor und ho loved htfr, nnd, if tho shadow of a gravo was not between thein, would offer himself In mnrrlage to her. This sho know beyond all doubt. Ho had given all u man cuii give; had saved her nnd killed her father; In lovo had saved heraoJf. What was to bo done? In a strange spirit Sheila entered tho room where tho governor sat with her mother. She hnd reached the limit uf her powcra ?f sufforiug. Soon after her mother had left tho room, the gov ernor snld: "Why do you think I hao como hero today?" Ho added to tho words a noto of sympathy, oven of passion in his voice. "It was to visit my mother nnd my self, and to sco how Salem looked after our stay on It was It not?" "Yes, to sco your mother and your self, but chiefly tho latter. As for Sa lem, it looks ns though a master-mind had been nt work; I sco It In every thing. Tho slaves nro singing. If you look out on those who nro singing, you'll seo they nro resting from their labors ; that thoy nro fighting tho ennui which most of us feci when wo rest from our labors. Let us look nt them." Tho governor stood up nnd enmo to the open French windows Hint faced tho fields of sugar-cane. In tho near distance were clumps of fruit trees, of hedges of llrao and flowering shrubs, rows of ornngo trees, mangoes, red and purple, forbldden-frult nnd grnpofrult tho largo scarlet fruit of tho ncqul, the avocado-pear, tho feathering bamboo, and tho Jnck-frult trco, with Us enor mous frult-llko pumpkins. Around tho negro huts were smnll. Individual W - "Ho Will Infringe the Order If It's Made, Boland." plantations kept by tho slaves, for which they had ono day a fortnight, besides Sundays, free to work on their own account Hero and there also were patches of "ground-fruit," ns the underground vegetables were called, while there passed by on their way to tho open road leading to Kingston wains londed with sugur-casks, drawn by oxen, and in two cases by sumpter( mules. "Is there anything finer than thnt in Virglnln?" asked tho governor. "I have never been in Virginia, but I take this to bo in some ways liko that state. Is It?" "In some wuys only. Wo havo not tho snmo profusion of wild fruits and trees, but wo havo our share and it Is not so hot as hero. It Is a better coun try, though." "In what way Is It better?" the gov ernor asked almost acidly. "It Is better governed." "What do you mean by that? Isn't Tnmnlcn well. governed?" "Not so well thnt it couldn't bo Im proved," wns Sheila's reply. "What improvements would you sug gest?" Lord Mullow asked urbanely, for ho wns sot to play his cards care fully today. "More wisdom in tho governor," wns the cheerful and bright reply. "Ho Is Indifferent to good advice. Ho Jias been told of troublo among tho Ma roons, that they mean to rlso; ho hns been advlesd to make preparations, nnd he makes none, nnd ho Is deceived by n show of loynlty on- the part of the slaves. Lord Mallow, if tho free Ma roons rise, why should not tho black sluves rise nt tho samo time? Why do you not net?" "Is everybody whose good opinion Is worth having mnd?" answered tho gov ernor. "I have sent my Inspectors to Trclawncy. I havo had reports from them. I hnvo used overy care what would you have mo do?" "Used every caro? Why don't you lusuro the Maroons' pcaceahlcness by advancing on them? Why don't you tnko them prisoners? They nre en raged that two of tholr herdsmen should he whipped by a negro slave under the order of one of your cap tains. They ure angry and disturbed und hnvo ambushed the roads to Tre lawney, so I'm told." "Did Mr. Calhoun tell you that when ho was hero?" "It was not that which Mr. Calhoun told me tho only tlmu he came here. But who Errls Boyno wns. 1 never knew who my father, was till ho told me. My mother hud kept It from mo all my life." Sheila spoke without agitation of any kind ; her fuce was firm und calm, her .nuinner composed, her voice oven, As sho tnlked, sho seemed to be prob ing the center of a llowcr which sho hnd cuught from u basket at the win dow, and her whole personality was alight and vivifying, her good temper and spirit complete. As Mallow looked at her, ho had an overmaster ing deslrn to make her his own his wife. Sho was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds ; sto had beauty, ability nnd authority. Sho was tho ucme of cliurin and good bearing. With her ho could climb high on tho ladder of life. Ho might bo a reully great llgurc in tho British world If she guvo her will to help iilm, to hold up Ida hnndfe. It had never occurred to him that Dyck Cftlhen could be u rlral, till Its had ueurd of Dyck'a visit r to Sheila and .her mother, tCQ he Imu heard Sheila praise -him nt tho first dinner he hnd given o tho two Indies on Christmas day. On that dny it was clear Sheila did not know who her father was; but stranger tilings had happened than that sho should bo taking up with, and oven marry, a man Imprisoned for killing another, oven ono who had bcon condemned as a mutineer, nnd had won freedom by saving tho king's navy. But now that Sheila know tho truth there could be no danger! Dyck Col houn would bo relegated to his proper placo In tho schemo of things. Who was there to stand between him and hts dcslro? What was there to stay tho great ovent? Ho got to his fcot and came near to her. Ills eyes were Inflamed with pas sion, his manner was impressive. Ha had a distinguished face, become more, distinguished slnco his assumption of governorship, and authority had in creased his personality. "Let mo toll you I havo nn ordor from the British government to confine Calhoun to his cstato; not to permit him to leave It; and, if ho docs, to ar rest him. That is my commanded duty. You approve, do you not? Or nro you liko most women soft at heart to bold criminals?" Sheila did not reply at once. The news was no news to her, for Darius Boland hnd told her; but she thought it well to lot tho governor think ha had mado a now, sensational state ment "No," sho snld at last, looking him calmly In tho oyes. "I havo no soft feelings for criminals as criminals, none at nil. And Uiero Id every rea son why I should bo adamant to tills man, Dyck Calhoun. But, Lord Mal low, I would go carefully about this, If I were you. Supposo ho resists, what will you do?" "If ho resists I will attack him with duo force." "You menn you will send your mill tnry and pollco to attack him?" The glbo was covered, but It found tho governor's breast. Ho knew what sho was meaning. "You would not expect mo .to do police work, would you? Is thnt what your President does? What your great George Washington does? Docs ho mnko the stnto nrrests with his own hand?" "I havo no doubt he would If tho circumstances wcro such ns to war- rant It. Ho has no smnll vices nnd no false feelings. He has proved him self," sho answered boldly. "Well, In thnt case," responded Lord Mallow Irritably, "tho event will bo as Is due. Tho man Is condemned by my mnsters, and he must submit to my authority, no is twlco a crimi nal, nnd " "And yet a hero and a good swords mnn, nnd ns honest us men nro mado In a dishonest world. Your admlrnlty nnd your government first pnrdoncd " tho mnn, and then gavo him freedom on tho lslnnd which you tried to pre vent; nfcd now thoy turn round and conflno him to his acres. Is that par don In n renl senso? Did you wrlfr to tho government nnd sny ho ought, not to bo freo to roam, lest ho should discover more trensure-chests nnd buy another estnte? Was It you?" Tho governor shook his head. "No, not I. I told the government In care ful and unrhetorlcnl language tho ln cldent of his coming here, and what I did, and my renson for doing It that wns nil." "And you being governor thoy took your ndvlcc. Sco, my lord, If this thing Is dnno to him It will bo to your own discomfiture. It will hurt you in the public serylco." "V)y, to hear you speak, mistress, It would almost seem you hnd a fond ness for tho mnn who killed your fa ther, who went to Jail for It, nnd " "And became n mutineer," Inter vened tho girl, flushing. "Why not sny ill? Why not catalogue his of fenses? Fondness for the ;nan who killed my fnther, you say I Yes, I hnd a deep and sincere fondness for him ever slnco I met him nt I'laymoro over seven years ngo. Yes, n fondness which only his crime makes Impos sible. But In nil that really matters I am still his friend. Ho did not know ho wns killing my fnther, who had no rlnlms upon mo, nono nt alt, except thnt through him I hnvo life and be ing; but it Is enough to scpnrntc us forever In the eyes of tho world, nnd In my eyes. Not morally, of courso, but legally and nctunlly. He and I aro ns fnr apart as winter nnd sum mer; wo nre parted forever and ever nnd over." Lord Mallow saw his opportunity, and did not hesitate. "No, you are wrong, wholly wrong," ho snld. "I did not bins what I said In my report a report I was bound to make 'v any covert projiidlco against Mr. (Y.'houn I guarded myself especially" there ho lied, but ho was un Incomparable liar "lest It should Bo used against him. It would appear, however, that the now admiral's report with mine were laid together, and tho govern ment enmo to Its conclusion according ly. So I am bound to do my duty." "If yon oh, If you did your duty, you would not obey tho command of the government Aro there not times when to obey Is a crime, und Is not this ono of them? Lord Mnllow, you would bo doing ns great n crime as Mr. Dyck Calhoun ever committed, or could commit, If you put this order Into actual fact. You aro governor hero, nnd your judgment would bo no ccptcd remember It is nn eight weeks' Journey to London nt tho Ienst, nnd what might not happen In thnt time I Aro you not given discretion?" "I want you beloved, want yoa for my wife." CTOEBCONTmURO)
