- But the two days In Breslau were
not very pleasant for Tommy. He saw
but little OF the princess, and he never
saw her alone. They met at meals:
hut Janet Church was always there.
Afterward the princess and Janet eth
or retired TO their own sitting room,
or took walk without asking Tom
my 20 60 with them. He got no chance
Of explaining himself to the princess
or trying to convince her that he knew
nothing OF Miss Temple. This wor-
ried him. On the other hand. the
princess manner became gradually
more and more agreeable. The ex-
treme hostility with which she had
greeted him In the Mascotte and after
ward In the train gave way to or
binary politeness and at last to friend
illness
Janet, Of course. was with the prin-
cess all day and talked 10 her inces-
sanity, almost always about world
peace and the Unity OF Christian
Churches This would have inclined
any girl 10 feel kindly toward young
man, even n he were the callous
breaker OF another girls heart. And
Calypso came 10 be doubtful whether
Tommy had really broken Miss Tenn
Piles heart. Janet. when her mind
could be diverted from the Union OF
Churches. dropped hints about Tommy
which set Calypso wondering. She
said. for instance. that Tommy was
not the man he PROGRESSED TO be. so
far a. Calypso knew. Tommy pro-
fesscd TO be Lord Norheys, and the
thought that he might be somebody
else gave her Q queer little thrill Of
pleasure. n he were not Lord Nor
hey. then he was not hound In honor

She began 70 look at Tommy with
Interest, n first ~ q man whom II
might be her duty TO marry, later on

10 marry even II II were not her duty
Her view Of Miss Temple changed In
an odd way. II occurred 70 her Al
possible that this London dances
might be one Of those wicked womer
who lure young men into entangie
ments and then hold them TO theil
half-msde promises. she came by de
grees to think Of Miss Temple a. Z
