hours-less than that. Over night,
you remember. / love you, Sara

| could feel you pulling ut my heart

me. You were in your room, l in

TO be bending over me in the dark

love you and be loved by you. 1t

1T was not dream" said Sara
with a queer smile.

swer Sara was staring across the
water. her eyes big and as black as
nigh, itself. She seemed TO be looking
far beyond the misty lights that bob
bled with nearby schoopers, far be-
yond the yellow mass on the opposite
shore where q town lay Graded in the
shadows, far into the fast darkening
sky that came up like wall out OF
the east.
Hetty's fingers tightened in a
warmer clasp. Unconsciously perhaps.
Sara's grip on the girls shoulder
frightened also; unconsciously. for her
thoughts were far away. The younger
woman's pensive gaze rested on the
peaceful waters below, taking in the
slow approach of the fog that was
soon TO envelop the land. Neither
spoke for many minutes: inscrutable
thinkers, each prey to thoughts that
leaped backward to the beginning and
took up the puzzle at its inception.

thought. She did not complete the
sentence.
Sara answered tho unspoken ques-
ton. "It will never be different from

Hetty started. How could you have
known what was thinking" she
cried in wonder

Sara"
Your own intelligence should sup
ply the answer to all the questions you
are asking OF yourself. 1t Is too late
for me to turn against you" She alb
ruptly removed her hand from Hetty's
shoulder and walked to the edge of
the veranda. For the first time, the
English girl was conscious OF pain.
She drew her arm up and cringed. She
pulled the light scarf about her bare
shoulders.
The butler appeared In the doorway.

The girl stared. For me, Watsons"

Hetty had risen, visibly agitated.

she cried

still smiling. "Wait and see what II

"A box OF flowers has just come up

Watson.
