What was more, she offered me half Of
the lap robe when was seated beside
her.
! think she was pleased by my offe'
to go away, for she talked very pleas
antly and far moro intimately than she
had ever done before, telling rae facts
about her family. her Chicago life, her
travels and even her thoughts. From
this learned that her elder brother
was an Oxford graduate, and that Lord
Rallies and his brother were classmates,
who were visiting him for the first time
since he had graduated She asked me
some questions about my work, which
led me to tell her pretty much every
