necessarily very quiet. They reached
Liverpool in the afternoon of the fol-
lowing day, and as soon as the baggage
could be got together started for home.
Lady Walcote had remained in the
house by Lola's special wish-one of
the results of the change in her feelings
and Lola did her utmost to follow up
the kindlier letters she had written with
greeting of really affectionate warmth.
But the old lady had not changed on
her side, and, though resolved to act up
TO the promise she had made to Sir
Jaffray before the marriage, she did not
like the woman he had chosen and
would not pretend that she did.
Thus the home coming was chilled on
the threshold, and Lola herself was both
disappointed and irritated, and there
was more Of the old Ishmaelitish feeling
Of defiance in her manner than her hus
band had observed since the marriage.
With Jaffray himself his mother was
all tenderness and love, but she felt the
change in the position.
