Nellie had stolen away from her
escorts to find Harry. Her heart
had beaten faster ever since she had
seen him on the boat. Her love OF
mischief fairly danced III her eyes
as she took her hat end with the
tip Of a white plume touched the
hand that was thrown up to shade
his eyes from the light above. She
stroked il several times with light
brush, but he was sound asleep
The word "Harry" trembled on hel
lips but she spoke it not, as Harry
with a growl at being disturbed
turned his face TO the wall, and sh'
. dodged away.
"Why could he not awake? WIZ
must / go back to sit with that Pokl

home again in the snuggery or
Piety Hill, in place Of having TO b.
