bridge. So she went to the piano. and
began to ramble through various
songs.
Cherry and Peter, left at the table
did not speak to each other; Peter
leaned back in his chair, with ciga
rette; Cherry dreamily pushed to and
fro the little anagram wooden block

But presently her heart gave a great
plunge. and although she did not alter
her different attitude. or raise her
eyes. her white hand moved with di-
rected impulse. and Peters casual
glance fell upon the word Alone !"
