 Yes" Oswald spoke absently.
 That morning he had arrived from London. Although he was the least curious of men, he felt as if the peo- pie from whom he had parted four months ago were living in different atmosphere. Before the ship docked he had discovered a group waiting to welcome him. Dorcas was there. her beautiful face glowing with happiness. He watched her unite a gray scarf from her hat and wave it. Merry stood beside her. but the girls hand was clasped inside her brothers arm. Wentworth was wan and thin. Across his temple gleamed a wide red scar. Merry lifted his hat when. he caught sight of Oswald and the wind tossed down, almost into his eyes, the wavy lock of long fair hair which proclaimed his calling. Alice Volk stood in the group. with Julie jumping impatiently beside her. Little Robin clasped her hand, while he searched for the ship with his sightless eyes.

When the overture began he moved toward the rail and took his place among group of men who had not been able to buy seats. He found Singleton, of the Times, at his elbow.
 "Hullo." said the young editor heart fly. "I'm glad to see you back and glad you've come back to such a house. Why. it's one of the biggest ever saw in New York.
