 She sat there very still and unre- sisting, her hand to her lips, uttering no word, scarcely breathing. He wait ed. He gave her time. After little while her fingers strayed to the crown or her limp. rakish panama They found the single hatpin and drew it out. He smiled as he pushed the hat away and then pressed her dark little head against his breast. Her blue i eyes were swimming.
 Just this once, just this once," she murmured with a sob in her voice. Her hand stole upward and caressed his brown cheek and throat Tears of Joy started in his eyes-tears of ex- quisite delight.
 Good God, Hetty, I-I cant do without you, he whispered, shaken by his passion. Nothing can come between us. l must have you always like this"
 Che sara, sara" she sighed, like the breath of the summer wind as IL sings In the trees.
 The minutes passed and neither spoke. His rapt gaze hung upon the glossy crown that pressed against him so gently. He could not see her eyes, but somehow he felt they were tightly shut as if in pain.

 Yes-everything. She knows and understands. She is an angel, Bran burst forth, "I am not altogether a sham.

It isn't as if l were the scum of the earth is it? l am a Castleton My father comes of a noble family And, Brandon, the only thing I've ever done in my life that l am really ashamed of is the deception l practiced on you when you brought that magazine to me and faced me with 1t. l did not lie to you. I simply let you believe l was not the-the person you thought l was. But l deceived you"

 Again he stroked her hair. 'I am sure of that" he said
