sites for this building in connection
with the location Of all other proposed

He favored a well-trimmed i'm

Aubrey and Dennis, profoundly
conscious of the honor conferred
by the great man in accepting the
invitation to spend weekend at
Hawksbridge, pranced about him
with so exaggerated display of
solicitude that the thin lips of the
Titian-haired sister began to twitch
in contempt.
They pr epared him for the

He seemed to know that he was

to herself that the evening at
Hawksbridge promised to be ex-

up and provide some relief.
She left the three in the draw

desperately in love with a govern
orship of a very small island in a
very small corner of the empire,
was not so aesthetic as his brother
and less inclined to recall his illus

than fit around Mayfair. Of home
life they knew nothing. Stuart
Carteret, their father, was dear

Hawksbridge now and then and
supplied them with a decent mount

were seldom worried by financial
