B1anche's case there was no apparent
reason why it 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,

next we shall have the color of his

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 it simply
was impossible, and anybody who took
the other side would have to reckon
henceforth with Sweep Cazalet.
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
ished at the iron gate into the road. In

smiling. much to his companions re-

however, in dreading an explosion
when they were both obviously in the

tone he took so readily. Il know

and this surprised Blanche more than
anything else from him. Yet nothing
about him was any longer like the
Sweep of other days, or of any previ-

this was also easy to understand on
reflection; for il he meant to stand
