she tore it open eagerly.

once more out of the corner of her
blue eyes at the distracting person in

because she had already invited COM

she had felt at the prospect of sitting
down to eat alone.

"Yes. IT is-the boy with the oys-

Lucinda went slowly back upstairs.
As she closed the door behind her her
face began to quiver with tears. She
dropped down upon the edge OF chair
and for a moment wept quietly. "She

she got UP and went to her own door.

Jasper did not come home to lunch.
but he arrived for dinner at the usual
