4 on Sandy.
CHAPTER "a

For lunch they went to a
restaurant in Market street.
Alice was plainly disap-
pointed, having cherished a
vision of dining at the
Palace. She drew in a long,
shifting breath and eyed
Sandy in a biting way that
said, curtly: "a lot of good

she chose to bother about it. She
could also be very winning. She now

"Why, / thought they were at

few pounds, didn't you? It's not

Sandy caught a flash OF n-rse,r
through Alice's eyes. To these she
appeared a commonplace, red-head,
slightly overfat. The frcckles gave
her brad and butter look instead 70
the mysterious wistfulness she prefer
red. She was taken down several
notches after the adulation of her sum
mer holiday, but she said breezily in
the tone Alice called that almighty
conceit of yoursl" she said:
"Twee-twee, Alice, ole dear, your
flsttering tokens tell me sweetly that
I'm home again"
"Quite a come down after the gay
time you've had:' The narrowing
of Alice's brows made Sandy sus-
picious.
"Wbat did you hear about me:'
@Nothing." Alice's lips tight.
Nothing at all but seeing that all
the eligible men on the earth visit or
work on the islands, guess you
didn't lack for sport,
@Ah, but you know all the mar
