and went to him.
Il say, Middleton, he began, twirling
his stick, and looking rather ANNOYED.

that we had not a room for your friend,
now that he is kind enough to come.
And it looks so rude, when it is SO ex-

don't like to suggest''-
'Oh, that will do perfectly" l broke
in. Carr is not the sort of fellow to
care straw how he is put up. He will
be quite content anywhere.
Come and see it." he said, leading the
way out of doors. 81 would have turned

Eyes, she is very pretty" said Sir
George, without enthusiasm. s.But l

cousin Evelyn Derrick, which his aunt
and Iwere both glad to think had passed
over. 1 do not approve of marriages be-

We had reached the lodge by this

that Carr would be perfectly cornforta-
