Bishop performed the necessary intro

grasped his hand.
Gerald Bishop cast an ironically
amused glance across at Orde, and the
mother would barely notice the sun
burned, ungainly looking riverman.
Carroll Bishop appeared quite I'M
conscious Of an atmosphere which
seemed to Orde strained. but sank
into her place at the table and I'M
folded her napkin. The silent butler
drew forward a chair for Orde and
stood looking impassively In Mrs. Bish-
ops direction.
You will have some breakfast with
usF" she inquired. No? A cup of
coffee at least?"
She began to manipulate the coffee
pot without paying the slightest atten-
ton to Orde's disclaimer. The general |
pulled out his cheeks and coughed a
bit in embarrassment.
"a good cup of coffee is never amiss |

The man departed, leaving Orde

Then. breaking the stiffness with al
most startling abruptness, he heard a
clear, high voice saying something at
the top Of the stairs outside. A rbyth-
nical swish of skirts, punctuated by
the light pat-pat OF a girl tripping
downstairs, brought him to his feet
A moment later the curtains parted,
and she entered. holding out her hand.
