though he was jumpy and irritable, he
seemed determined by an assumption
Of high spirits and exaggerated friend
Illness to avert criticism. Since Alaire
spared him all reproaChes, his efforts
seemed to meet with admirable sue

not high, for those with whom he ha-
bitually associated were of small in

But Ed was Ill, and he did not ap-

since either had dared invade the 9TH

husband did not send for her. Alaire
did not presume to offer her services as
