"You don't want him, Phoebe. Why, I

certain vague impulse of self-protection.

They make a pose of looking as common

NO, these are evidently some old senti-

she added mockingly. Perhaps he
would write and tell the landlord that two
charming and romantic young ladies are
dying to know what he means by having
two unexplained butterflies so conspic-

You absurd thing" rejoined Phoebe;
but he is irritating isn't he?"
One day as the friends were looking
among the strangers books for something
to read, a sheet Of paper f1uttered on to

she led the way up grassy slope to

edge of a pine wood overhanging the
garden.
This was Margot's first visit to the
Priory, and she was looking round the
shelves of the pavilion with delighted rec

But whatever Phoebe's opinions on the
