CHAPTER v.
An Untimely Visitor.


She really was one still, for in these
days II is an elastic term, and in
Blanche's case there was no apparent
reason why 1t should ever cease to
apply, or to be applied by every decent
tongue except her own.
Much the best tennis-player among
the ladies of the neighborhood. she
drove an almost unbecomingly long
ball at golf. and never looked better
than when padding her old canoe, or
punting in the old punt. And yet, this
wonderful September afternoon. she
did somehow look even better than at
either or any of those congenial pur-
suits. and that long before they
reached the river; in the empty house,
which had known her as baby, child
and grown-up girl, to the companion
OF some part of all three stages, she
looked a more lustrous and a lovelier
Blanche than he remembered even of
old.
But she was not really lovely In the
least; that also must be put beyond
the pale of misconception. Her hair
was beautiful, and perhaps her skin.
and. in some lights, her eyes; the rest
was not. 1t was yellow hair. not gold
en-. and Cazalet would have given all
he had about him to see II down again
a. in the Oldest Of old days; but there
was more gold in her skin, for SO the
sun had treated 1t; and there was

But even that effective nnal pronoun
failed to bring any buoyancy back into
his voice; for It was not in the least
effective as he said IL. and he no long
or looked her in the face. But this all
seemed natural TO Blanche, in the
manifold and overlapping clrcum-
stances OF the Case. She made for the
inlet at the upper end of the lawn.
And her prompt unquestioning ac-
quiescence shamed Cazalet into further
and franker explanation, before he
could let her land to please him.

he exclaimed quite miserably. Il mean

why do the police think the other

got to go on? That's what want to

Blanche looked up quickly. Il wouldn't
trust old Savage an inch. I've been
thinking about him and his previous
evidence. Do you realize that It's
quite dark now soon after seven? II
was pretty thick saying his man was
bareheaded. with neither hat nor cap
left behind to prove it, Yet now It
seems he's put beard to him, and
next we shall have the color Of his
eyes!"
Blanche laughed at his vigor OF
phrase; this was more like the old,
hot-tempered. sometimes rather over
bearing Sweep. Something had made
him jump to the conclusion that Scru.
ton could not possibly have killed Mr..
Craven. whatever else he might have
done in days gone by. So 1t simply
was impossible, and anybody who took
the other side would have to reckon
henceforth with Sweep Cazaiet.
Mr.. Toye already had reckoned with
him. in a little debate begun outside
the old summer schoolroom at Little.
ford, and adjourned rather than fin.
isffed at the iron gate into the road. In
her heart Of hearts Blanche could not
say that Cazalet had the best of the

Blanche rather thought that neither
quite understood what the other
meant; but she could not blink the
fact that the old friend had neither the
dialectical mind nor the unfailing
courtesy of the new. That being SO,
with her perception she might. have
changed the subject; but she could
see that Cazalet was thinking OF moth
ing else; and no wonder. since they
were approaching the scene OF the
tragedy and his own old home, with
each long dip Of her paddle.
1t had been his own wish to start
upstream; but she could see the wist.

more upon the red turrets and the
smooth green lawn OF Uplands; and
she neither spoke nor looked at him
again until he spoke to her.
