rhodo-

Well, to begin with, Polly, there's going to be a rhodo--What's that you told us about in your story of the circus?

Rhodo was wifeless, childless, and had been so for forty years.

When they were alone, Rhodo's eyes softened, and he came near to her.

Not so much what Rhodo had said as the meaning in his voice, aroused her to a situation which she must face.

On either side of her, but a few feet behind, stood Rhodo and Ingolby.
