dictator Of Deerbridge and the CEN
trail figure at the best dinners and
dances.
He lived, with a 10-year-old
daughter. in an old-fashioned, mar

he had gathered such books, brasSes,
mahogany and oil portraits as re-

Chambers and Eyre families.
His lineage was his one passion,
and his clumsy, homely, nice lit

prospective husband assumed the
name of Page, was to inherit a very
museum of antiquities.
Emily rushed out tonight to well

to the long drawing room, where tea
was served every afternoon. She
liked the Spode and Old Blue, and
the thin silver scratchily engraved
with faint initials. And she liked her

usual kiss and read her a poem by
