the girl you saw just now bow to me came
down u way, all smiles, white feathers
and favors. She seized on my old country
g~randpapa-as 'Grandpapa'-and said:
How silly of you to sit so far down,
dear! You couldn't see.'
Too hot up there, he said.
She behaved like a true British ma
tron and never shed a tear, she continued
as she pinned in his favor.
NOW, Gwen, you must decorate my
companion he said, indicating me. He
has been first rate company and pointed
me out all the lions and lionesses.' Yet
there was a look in the old mans eyes
that I did not precisely understand.
"As Miss Gwen reached across to me

1t was no news to me that he was Scotch.
"1n the drawing room he had another
word with Gwen, and then he remarked
to me, with a malicious grin: Well, 1
don't see the queen here yet, nor the play
wright, nor even the dancing ambassador.
What has become of them?'
What was to become of me was of far
more Importance, and, finding that my
companion was making straight for the
happy pair to tender his good wishes, and,
being an absolute stranger to both, I
broke and fled, hoping to lose myself in
the crowd, to find some efficacious means
Of escape, even were it through the kitchen
and scullery. But the mob, surging to-
ward the presents, carried me along in
