The approaching marriage aroused her
keen interest. She said very little dur

glumly devouring cucumber sandwiches
till Barbara took him aside.
"She's rather a dear, in spite of
everything, and I think you're treating
her abominably."
Jaffery grew scarlet beneath the
brick colored glaze"
II wouldn't treat any woman abom-

the protective area OF Adrian's arm.
Jaffery, with knitted brow, leaned
against one of the posts supporting the
old wistaria arbour and said nothing,

Afterward Jaffery still upset and in

Barbara with her customary eff
