Mrs. Langley paused for moment, and
reflected that 1t might be wiser to say no
more at present. She had ascertained one
valuable fact-that Valerie did not care
for Louis Charters. 1t would be better to
leave other matters ito more convenient

was she an incorrigible coquette, or were
there some secret springs of action which
she Mrs, Langley) could not detectp She

the farce he was forced to play wearied
