Mr. Raikes did come once, and once
only. He called upon the two ladies
at the hotel the following Sunday. Dur
ing the visit he firted outrageously with
Mrs. Talbot and glanced askance at Fe-
icia s somewhat cross face as she sat by
reading the paper, wishing that she
would not look SO coldly and indifferently
at him; but she would not speak to him.
so he was fain to address himself entire
~ to her friend.
After that Sunday they saw him no
more, for Mr.. Talbot, unexpectedly, came
back from Scotland sooner than he in
tended, and the little party at Sma ckton
was in consequence broken up; the two
friends said good-by to the Yorkshire
watering place, Felicia paid the last bill,
and they packed up their boxes and mi
grated southwark together.
