So John Lane settled down into the
fair groove in which circumstances
had placed him. Muriel, his solicitous
nurse, fitted about him with her
sweet, womanly ways, and deeper
and deeper grew his love for her.
Meanwhile the festaI basket which

The evening after that John and
Muriel were seated conversing in the
