CHAPTER V,

In few days was quite at home al
Westwood and understood my duties
They were certainly heavy. Fortunately
and fresh air, they did not commence I'M
til ten in the morning. Lady Yorke did
not care to be disturbed before tina,
hour. do not think she had ever seen the
sun rise or the dew lying like diamonds on
the grass. So the fresh sweet hours were
all my own. | rose almost with the sun,
thinking often that if people knew how
lovely the early morning was they would
never waste much time in sleep, and went
out into the PARK.

early morning hours with Mark; the only
side of the blue sky and | on the other.

could hear and see me- Ah love- my love,

those hours of peace and rest my mind was
braced for the day. If | had not seen Mark
I had looked long and lovingly at the blue
heaven where he was. | had not spoken to
him; but the whisper of the wind, the rip
pie of the leaves the song OF the birds q 1
seemed so many messages from him. A ter
ten O'Clock had never another moment to
call my own. Then Lady Yorke was in her
boudoir, and every morning she had u
thousand new wants. 1t was q puzzle to
me how she invented them. There were
letters to answer, invitations to send out.
She liked to hear me read. Every day
