n OBERT SAVARIN and stood
X side by side on the veranda OF the
- old Brennan house at Marvin
nutely watching the taxi which was
bearing Dieky, Lillian Underwood and
Lillians little girl, Marion, to the rail
road station in time for the city-bound
train. II was not until the taxi became
a mere speek in the distance that we
turned, as If by mutual consent--al-
though still saying nothing-and went
into the living room.
! did not know what Robert Savarin's
thoughts were. but my own brain was
busy with the unexpected complication
OF Lillian's life problem which her sud
den and ridiculous jealousy of my
friendship with the artist had brought
to me.
] knew that Lillian herself, big, frank,
loyal woman that she is, was not aware
OF the nature of her feeling toward me,
and that when she did realize it she
would stamp 1t out with inflexible firm
ness. But the look OF resentment, un-
conscious though it was, with which she
had answered Robert Savarin's refer
ence 10 asking my advice had revealed
to me as by lightning flash the diff
culties OF helping to solve Lillian's
problem
Dicky's unrcasoning jealousy, which
always greets the most casual acquaint-
anccship OF mine with any man. was
already beginning to simmer against
Robert Savarin.. But | did not think
the attack would be as serious as other,
he had had. In the first place, Mr.
Savarin Is nearly as old as my own
father; in the second place, Dicky has
a great reverence for the elder artists
genius, and, in the third place, Robert
Savarins interest in Lillian Underwood
was so plainly in evidence that Dicky
could not fail to see it soon.
