! CHAPTER VI
| l.
A draper occupied the premises
opposite Fortune, East and Sabre's.
On an October afternoon, just be-
fore o'clock, Sabre saw Mona
ahght from her car and go into the
,, diapers. He put on his hat and
coat and descended into the street.
AS he crossed the road she came
out
'Hullo, Marko!"
What about having some tea
| somewhere
I think that's a good idea"
He suggested the Cloister Tea
Rooms. She spoke to the chauffeur
and accompanied him.
Mona began some account of her
summer visitations. Sabre spoke Q
little of local businesses But the
subjects were but skirmishers
thrown out before dense armies of
thoughts that maSsed behind; met,
and trifled, and rode away When
pretence of dragging out the meal
could no longer be maintained
Mona looked at her watch. We'll,
L must be getting back We haven't
had particularly enormous tea,
but the chauffeur's had none"
Sabre said, Yes, let's get out Of
this" 1t was as though the thing
had been a strain.
He put her into the car. She was
so very, very quiet. He said, I've
half a mind to drive up with you I'd
like ride, and a walk back"
II.
They were within the gates. 1t
had been a dull day Evening stood
mistily far up the long avenue of
the drive and in the distances
about the park on either hand
a small disquiet stirred. The leaves
banked orderly between their par
ent trunks. Sabre noticed as
curious thing how, when they
tsirred, they only trembled in their
massed formations, not broke their
ranks, as if some live thing ran
Deneatn them.
He said, DO you know what this
seems to me? 1t seems as though it
was only yesterday, or this morn
ing, that you came to see me at the
office and we talked. Well. I want
it to be only yesterday. l want to
go on from there"
She said. Yes"
He hardly could hear the word
He looked at her. She was as tail
as he. Not least of the contributions
to her beauty in his eyes was the
slim grace of her stature But her
face was averted; and he wanted
most terribly to see her face. "Stani
a minute and look at me, Mona"
He touched her arm. Il want to see
your face"
She turned towards him and
rasied her eyes to his eyes "Oh,
what is it you want to say, Marko?"
There was that which glistened
upon her lower lids; and about her
mouth were trembling movements:
and in her throat pulse beating.
He said, Its you I want to say
something. l want you to explain
some things. Some things you said,
Mona, when you came into my room
that day and shook hands you said,
'T'here!' when you gave me your
hand. You took off your glove and
said THERE l want to know why

GO ON WITH THE STORY.

Clearly, as it were yesterday, he
remembered the day she had de-
clared to him her choice In the
Cathedral cloisters. Walking to-
gether. And suddenly, in the mid st
of Indifferent things, she told him,
Il say, -Marko, I'm going to marry
Lord Tybar."
And his reply. the model of in
difference. Are you, Nona?"
He came upon the picture of
himself alone with Nona-aloEe
with her watching her beautiful
face-and saying to her, Look
here, there were three things you
said, three expressions you used.
Explain them, Mona. Explain
'There!' with your glove off Ex-
plain Fotsam.' Explain Well, l
had to come Explain them, Mona
for Gods sake"
CHAPTER V.
But it was October before he
asked her to explain them. The
Tybars, as he learnt when he next
met her, a week after her visit to
the office, were only at Northrepps
for a breathing space after their
foreign tour. Through the sum-
mer they were going the usual so
ciaI round, ending in Scotland.
Back in October for the shooting,
and wintering there through the
hunting season.
There was the occasion of a little
dinner party at Northrepps to

Major Hopscotch Millet and one o.
two others were among the guests.
Mona came with them to the door
on their departure. Sabre was last
down the steps. We'll, shan't see
you again till October, she said.
NO, till October" He had no
more than touched her hand and
turned away.
She was close behind him. He
heard her give the tiniest little
catch at her breath. She said,
Shall 1 write to you, Marko?"
He turned towards her. She was
smiling as though it was a chatting
remark she had made. Her shield
And he answered her from behind
his own shield, "Oh, well, I'm bad
at letters, you know"
But their eyes met with no shields
before them; and she was wound
ed, for he just caught her voice as
he went down the steps, "Oh,
Marko, do write to mel"
He got into the cab. Major Millet
had taken the seat next Mabel.
AS the horse turned, Mabel in
quired, What was Lady Tybar
talking to you about all that time ?"
He said, "Oh, just saying goodby."
