Did you speak of going to Lexington
the next day
Nothing was said about going to Lex
ington that day, and the next day when
started to Lexington l was surprised to
find her on the train

peculiar relations to Mr.. Rhodes
There WAS a marked infection upon the
word "peculiar." as if Mr.. Breckenridge
did not wish to speak outright of such
things as those relations. Returning to
the drive. he continued: I'VE took the left
