Notwithstanding his afectiOnatc
fidelity, he was glad to be free of the

TO ordinary daylight and life was a relief
TO him. But he had no very serious

made 70 him or nor condition He had
known her IS i'll ami as historical before.
When she was Ill she was often emotional,

errors in her pas. Harry thought he
knew very welt what these errors were.
He knew her like the palm Of his hand, as
the French say. lie knew the sort OF

in her mind even while she did it, Our
children know US better than any other
spectators know us. They know the very
moods IN which we are likely 10 do

know. His nature, as had been said, was
averse to secrets: he refused to have any
thing to do with a mystery. Everything
in which he was concerned was honest
