she turned on the electric bulb in
panic haste. For it had just occurred
to her that the telephone bell might

self into the library, whose closed door
would prevent the bell from being
audible through the house.
In less than ten minutes she was

She drew up chair and sat down

soft light burning in the 1oosened
tresses of her hair, enhancing the soft
color that pulsed in her cheeks, fading
before the joy that lived in her eyes
