once from the table where he had been
sitting with me.
"One moment, sonora, he said firm
ly. Don't be angry too quickly. Per-
haps it was mistake to let Diana come
here at all; but the worst that may
have befallen her is that she seems to
have eaten a great deal of cake and
had a great deal of lemonade. Other
wise she is unframed. 1 think"
"Oh, do not talk your nonsense to
mev my mother interrupted. Does
man lure a girl to his room in the mid
die of the night for nothing? Does an
innocent girl do as Diana has DONE?
Diana will learn far more from what
you are saying before her now than
she would have learned from me-" Mr..
Atkins replied. Now, since this is a
very unpleasant scene for everybody, and
particularly for young GIRL he laid
his hand gently on my shoulder as he
spoke, 81 would say it would be better
for Diana to go to her room. I am at
your service for any further explana-
ton, sonora"
Ny mother was calming down it
tie. More than Mr.. Atkins's words or
anything 1 could have said, the express
sion on my face and his manner were
reassuring her. Now she held out her
hand to me.
Come at once, Diana" she said. And
as for you. Mr.. Atkins, l do not see
any need of further words between us.
You will oblige me greatly if you will
let me have your rooms as soon as
possible
But this was too much for me. The
tears sprang to my eyes. Just because
I had wanted to talk to this man, to
be friends with him, was 1 to lose the
only person who in all my young life
had shown me either affection or in
terest?
ooh, no, MOTHER 1 cried. "Oh, no,
you must not let Mr.. Atkins go! !
can't bear itI' looked at the man
appealingly. "Oh, mother" 1 said. 81
love him"
