visiting card. in an old-fashioned hand.
that she and Helen would be glad to

to see this girl, to test, weigh, study

see how she would bear herself before
her aunt and me with that dark trans
action on her conscience.
Breakfast seems to be. in common
experience. the most difficult meal of
the day, and yet that hour hangs in
memory still as one of the brightest l
ever spent. The table was set on the
terrace, and its white napery, the best
Glenarm silver and crystal, and bowl
