Donald's lifelong habit of Difference had
already come to his assistance. He stood

glared at him furiously. But his return

but with an effect Of curtness. the butler
left the room.
Kenneth did not take his eyes from him
until he had gone. Then he shrugged with
angry relief. 1.-The meddlesome old fool!'
he nihttered. Against his will his glance
sought the book, and he felt pang of re-
morse for the turn his outburst had taken;
but he stified 1t and went to the piano in
stead and dashed into a gay and fiashy
waltz. After bar or two. however, he
broke it abruptly and leaned his head upon
the music rack, his face flushed with
shame. He felt that he had acted like a
child, that every trivial move he had made
but confirmed his pettiness. Worse than
all, he had not behaved like a gentleman;
Donald, for all his presumption, had
shown far better breeding than he had.
