as if she had slipped back somehow into the

love not the Amy he had married. Was this
his imagination only? During all the afternoon
the question tormented him. What was she
thinking of him? She had said that she be-

It would be hard to overestimate the sensitive

his wife more and more dearly. But he did
not know what she thought Of him. and he
dared not ask.
