OF Esther's character and person, now
that he was relieved OF the intoxicat-
ing presence OF Vivian, had reused In
Bair's breast longing for Esther that
he thought was love.

Blair's mother had tainted him with
this and had lightly dismissed the
thoughts of Vivian and the marriage
from her mind. 1t was Blair's mother
also who constantly inspired him with
