common-sense. Ii he married Sylvia, he would be
her brother-a downright blessing Perhaps they

ask more? As for any spell of her own-the pos
siblity had not occurred to her; she was simply
content to look at Antrobus a cat might look at
a king, as Mrs. Martha said. She thought OF his
antique perfection OF face and form only the
expression of a soul SO fine She felt it 4 rare race

Sometimes he came and walked beside her in

down. Yet such brief moments moments OF
ccstacy that made time speed without thought of
past or future.
That Antrobus should have hestated to speak to
her OF love lest it rub off the innocent bloom, could
not cross her mind she did not know anything
about her bloom. That he hcsitated on account OF
her money could not occur to her, either And that
his conversations with Sylvia might be chiefly about
herself would have seemed ridiculous, Oh course
Antrobus must be in love with perfection ii in love
at all And the of perfection again was the
Sylvia whom she adored!
Antrobus often came over from his own small
holding, her stepiathcr having books lie consulted,
too ponderous to borrow, too costly to buy. Then,

love OF Sylvia, her love of Antrobus her hopes, her
fears her selfcondemnaton for both fears and hopes

Her mother had ordered her dress, perfect in
simplicity of tule and pearls. But it was late before
she could bring herself to put it And then the
sight Of those flashing people in their jewels their
colors, their movement their Smiles struck her like
the phantasmagora Of some strange and foreign
parallel. She felt in dream while she danced,

slipped away then, threading groups OF dancers,
stealing from shadow. to shadow till she found the
