| All nv companion did not be-
lie,e that was in earnest. but
when convinced of my sincerity his
aston ishment was ineypressible. /
remember that he stammered out
some faint objections, but l would
not listen, and before retiring that
| night 1 whispered to mamma that I
bad made it;all right with Mr.. Sher-
rington, and she had only to obscr e
how nicely I would manage the
whole matter.
I sent Patricia off in the morning
to find arbutus with Mr.. Sherring-
ton, while I waited to receive MIR.
Redmond.
When he came I was in the gar
den, and had ordered lunch an hour
earlier than usual. My pale blue
silk looked beautiful on the lawn
grass.
"Pray come and see my tulips,
Mr.. Redmond" I called, as he
walked up the avenue.
He come, pleased enough. and as
he was especially fond OF flowers !
had no difficulty in OBTAINING him
!. .ftr more than half an hour.
Then, seeing him Took at his
watch, I observed.
"We won't wait lunch for Patricia,
for Mr.. Sherrington is with her.
They have gone roaming off after
Spring flowers, and may not be
back this three hours. Come in and
have a bit of salad, with a cup of
chocolate, Mr.. Redmond. I made
the chocolate myself, and can rec
ommendit."
So I kept him for another half
hour, and he left, pleased with his
visit.
Patricia and Mr.. Sherrington came
back only fifteen minutes after the
usual lunch hour, the former so de-
lighted with o profusion of pink
arbutus as hardly to heed when q
servant informed her that "Mr.
Redmond had called to see her, and
stayed with Miss Gertrude for
lunch"
She had put the rosy cluster in
her dark hair and on the bosom Of
her graceful gray dress, and, flushed
with her long ramble, I think I
never saw her look 50 perfectly love-
ly.
"He has been here. Very nice
Of you to keep her out Of the way so
long," I whispered to Clyde.
He looked at me queerly, but
said nothing. I did not want him
to expostulate with me, as believed
he wished to do, and so kept apart
from him during the evening, leav-
ing him to play and sing with Pa
tricia.
He was interesting, with his very
natural manner of reserved modesty.
l was glad that Patricia found him
so. He had pale, silken hair, that
fell in shadowy curls over q beauti-
full forehead, soft, dark eyes, softly
modulated tones. He contrasted
nicely with her dark, spirited beau
