Drama

wise to leave her to herself. just
then.
They went to the nearest cine
ma. Agnes sat demufeIy beside
him in the darkened stalls. much
ing chocolates and watching the
pictures. She reminded Drummond
of some utterly vicious and un-
moral child who has suddenly
fallen upon a quiet mood for q few
moments.
A semi-religious film was being
shown, ending in the deathbed
scene Of a small girl under cir
cumstances of pathos, which bored
Agnes and made her restless. The
adventures of the heroine chased
by motor load of armed
"toughs' and afterwards leaping
from one skyscroper roof to an
other with the agility of a jack
rabbit excited her so much that
the catastrophe at the Lombardy
was forgotten as If it had never
been. A clever and well-acted love
scene subsequently made her slip
her hand into Drummond's and
press it convulsively' and uncon-
sciousIy, her eyes glued on the
screen. He felt her warm breath
on his cheek.
Drummond's earlier disgust,
which had nearly overwhelmed
him at the restaurant gave way
slowly to an odd fascination. The
spell of her presence was upon
him. With 1t was a secret amaze
ment of himself. Drummond, in a
sense one of the most fastidious
of men, would have thought he
was the last who could be at
tracted by this strange mixture of
Childishness, charm and cruelty.
But the charm was there, and her
unusual beauty, the primitive ap-
neal of her, blotted out the rest
and mounted to his head like
strong wine. Callaghan's orders
were becoming far less distasteful
: to Drummond than they had been.
She would by no means let him

insisted on being taken to tea.
He chose a quiet place and they
dined together at a restaurant in
Jermyn street in the evening. It
was late when they parted. She
declined, to his surprise, an offer
to see her home, and it was late
when a taxi set her down at Tx
bridges Hotel.
