The door closed softly behind the re

David Kent made no secret Of his open

"And there never has been?"
Ornasby grinned.

Il wish you would tell me one thing,

Orrnsby stretched the truth a little;
partly for Elinor's sake: more, per-

Therefore you are not responsible"
THAT is putting it very diplomatic

Yes, it does. But it doesn't put me
out of the running, you understand.

Kent nodded.
