We had steamed down against a
strong tide, so we were half an hour

gone down to the saloon, but it was
worth being a little after time to see
the way they all leaped up and re-

Fashionable oilers and the manners Of

FOURTH PART FALL IN LOVE
Fifty-First Chapter.

N URING our first day in London
my husband had many visitors,
including Mr.. Eastcliff and Mr.
Vivian, who had much to tell and ar
range about.
l daresay a great many events had
happened during our six months alb
sence from England; but the only
thing | heard of was that Mr. Eass-
cliff had married his dancing girl,
that she had retired from the stage
and that her public appearances were
now confined to the box seat of a
four-in-hand coach, which he drove
from London to Brighton.
This expensive toy he proposed to
bring round to the hotel the follow
ing day, which CHANGED to be Derby
Day, when party was to be made up
for the races.
In the preparations for the party
Alma, who, as usual, attracted uni
versal admira ton, was, of course, in
cluded, but | did not observe that any
provision was made for me. though
