Darling. with final sob and q heavy
increase OF righteous wrath.
But what il to he done?n asks Mich
olas, distractedly, though inexpressibly
chcered by these professions OF loyalty
and devotion. Your people won't
hear of it.
"Oh, yes, they will" returns Doatie,
emphatically. They will probably hear
a great deal of i'll l shah speak of it
morning. noon, ana night, until out of
sheer VeXatiOn of spirit they will come
in body and entreatyOu to remove me.
Ah.n Tegretfully, "if only had for

never missed it before. We are really
very unfortunate -
They are both silent for a little while,
and then Dorothy says, gently
Perhaps it will all come right at
last, Oh, if some kind, good fairy
would but come to our aid and help us
| TO ConfOund our enemieS.'
81 am afraid there is only one fairy
on earth just now, and that is you, y

smoothing back her pretty hair with
loving fingers, and gazing fondly into
The blue eyes that have grown so big

this very instant, so exactly as Doatie
pauses that both she and Nicholas
start simultaneously.
That is Mona's voice. SAYS Doatie.

come for me then, and we can talk it all
over again. Come in, Mona; / am

She opens the door, and runs almost
into M0na'S arms, who is evidently
searching for her everywhere.
All, now have disturbed you, . says

lovers are rare delight and a sacred
study How stupid of me, Sure you

BY this time they have reached
Dorothy's room, and now, sitting down,
gaze mOurnfully at each other.
! Kneeling down by her, Dorothy lays
her head upon MOnas knee, and bursts
out crying afresh,
Don't now, says Mona, in a low
soothing tone, folding her in close EN-
brace; this is wrong, foolish, AnC
when things come to the worst they
mend
Not always sObs Doatie. 81 know
