around his premises again. he should resort to

astonished at her power of memory as she sat
and recited poem after poem that she had

was perfect. After this they met nearly every
day for the space of two weeks. Fox-hunting,
business, social parties-all were neglected for
the sake of meeting the little peasant girl
Then Lord Dashier declared his love, saying 1t
would be impossible to live without her, no
matter THAT the world might say.

the great singer I wish you to, just for my
sake, if for nothing else, will you not 2? he nov

The day previous to this conversation Jack
Shaw, Thyra's peasant lover, had again put in
his appearance at the cottage while her father
was at work in the field making himself very
