was on the point OF breaking down, but
he commanded himself, bravely dis
missing the self-pity reused by her
compassion. "How can / help but be?'
he said.
'No, no." She soothed him. "You
mustn't. You mustn't be troubled, no

protested; and he moved as If to rise.

"Must you? It seemed to me such a

AS the room took life from the sudden
lines Of fire within the bulbs Isabel
made q deDfecatory gesture, and, with
a faint laugh Of apologize protest,
turned quickly away from George.
What she meant was: "You mustn't
see my face until I've made it nicer
for you.",- Then she turned again to
him her eyes downcast but no sign
of tears in them, and she contrived to

fingers she held a white envelope,

walked slowly to the other end Of the
