From her window Kitty looked down
on the Campo. which lay patched with
black shadows and mOonshine. How

omnibuses. The stiffness which was Of

of this had entered Kitty's heart.
But for one thing the hour would
have been perfect. Kitty, ordinarily
brave and cheerful, was very lonesome

none had noticed or encouraged her.
1t was bitter cup after all the sue

diamonds and emeralds? Why live
here with such a fortune hanging
round her neck?
