Physically she was too nearly per.

that charmed; it was plain that her

AS Vernon possessed himself he
was able to note that this surprising
young woman was clad in a black trav.

From her spring hat down to tho Toes
of her boots there was nothing in her
attire that was mannish, but she was
of an exquisite daintineSs wholly

the perfect teeth, the fine chln-all

frankly at him. AS he gazed he was
conscious that he feared to hear her
