CHAPTER XVI

II was characteristic OF Richard
Ferricr that no waited for no answer
to the words he had flung at Joan's
appeal; he turned and strobe away
from her.
He was beginning Mt last to real
lie that he had walked in a FOOLS
paradise. Common sense told him
plainly enough that had this girl
cared for him, nothing would ever
have parted them. He tried not to
believe it-he would have given 10
years Of his life TO have shouted
down the suspicion in his heart
lie did not go back TO The cottage
TO lunch. He stayed out on the
cliffs, fighting the despair in his
heart
If she went to Teele with Edward
Major II would be his answer once
and for all.
He was face to face with grim
reality. Joan had been with these
men for so long, seen with their
eyes for 40 many years. that IL had
become impossible for her to think
or act Independently.
He recalled what the stout man
ageress at the London hotel had told
him.

There were some things I had to
admire about Edith. One was her
courage-some people would have
