very much like IL. The world had IN

Grieged u the heart, miserable and

Bermuda that afternoon He would at
least have change Of scene for few
days; he might feel better when he got

When Bessie found herself alone In the

over her eyes and sobbed passionately,
He said nothing, because he did not
know what 10 say. he thought Of fifty
different things, but they did not seem
quite adequate 70 the occasion and he
left them unsaid. Bessie was the first 10

house she remembered something that

place, but that we should only be there q
