P. Slade to declare that a game there was 'out Of the question:"

How Lillian Interpreted Dicky

 Handsome enough for any hero I'll hand that to you too. Any old Greek god would try to get under his pedestal for very shame if he saw our Dickybird strolling down the street."
 She grinned at me provokingly but I am used to her merciless teasing.
 He has iimned Dicky's brain and disposition as faithfully as he has his appearance l persisted. Why there are things in that book, which I would have sworn only Tor you could have known"
 There are few shrewder observ- CTS of analysts than Widdeoomb when he gets up ambition enough to write" Lillian answered. But even he realizes the truth of Stevenson s writing axiom. You remember--'
 "The 'psychical surgery which he employed in turning a dear friend into that engaging monster, John Silyer?" I conntered.
 Dicky Only Part of Hero
 Exactly, Widdecomb took all the principle and high -mindedness out of his portrayal Of Dicky. and endowed his hero--saye the mark--thesc mod ern heroes give mo two or three severe pains-with the morals and messy romanccs of another acquan- tance of his. Now, Madge," she looked at me sharply. and l saw that I had not been quick and shrewd enough to conceal the incredulity which I still felt. despite her state mcnt. '1 never deliberately deceived you, and I expect you to believe me when I tell you that there is noth- Ing in this book which should give Noh HilfhNiitSss hlio" Widdecomb. and l know the man who Is the supplementary angle to Dicky have I my geometry right?-in the book. I meant to bring you the book when 1t came out, and explain the situation to you in words Of one syllable, before you had it handed to yon without explanation.

 But she stopped abruptly, and eyed me with n speculative air.
