They met at dances I'M at musical

ii had always done, and ~here-don't you

monplace. Luke and Louisa, with the
whole aspect of life changed for them,
with a problem to face of which hith-
erto they had no conception, and the
solution Of which meant a probing Of
soul and heart and mind-Luke and
Louisa had to see the world pass them

Of pleasure and the burdens OF disap-
pointment.
The world stared at th~em-curious
and almost interested - searching
wounds that had only just begun to
ache, since Indifferent hands had dared
to touch them. And convention said:
Thou shalt not seem to suffer; thou
shalt pass by seren and unmoved; thou
shalt dance and sing and parade In

and I nave naught to do with thy
soul"
So Luke and Louisa did as conven-
ton bade them. and people stared at
them and asked them inane questions
that were meant to be delicate, but
were supremacy tactless. People too

Somehow after the first excitement
consequent on Lord Radclyffe's open
acknowledgment Of the claimant things
had tanned off somewhat: Luke de
Mountford looked just the same as be-
fore, although awhile ago he had been

England and now was a penniless son
Of a younger son. I don't know whether
people thought that he ought to look
entirely different now, or whether he
should henceforth wear shabby dress

dry cleaner; certain 1t is that when
Luke entered a reception room, a dozen
lips were ready-had they dared or

question:
