Towering armloads, eaten fat green
goose-berries and dark red luscious
raspberries. Later, there had been
apples. There had been places, secret
lairs, where she had curled up with a
book and read for hours.
She had loved Hunterbury. Always,
at the back of her mind, she had felt
sure of living there permanently some
day. Aunt Laura had fostered that
idea. Little words and phrases:
"Some day, Elinor, you may like to
cut down those yews. They are lit

have water garden here. Some day,
perhaps, you will"
And Roddy? Roddy, too, had look
ed forward to Hunterbury being his
home. It had lain, perhaps, behind
his feeling for her, Elinor. He had
felt, subconsciously, that it was fit
ting and right that they two should
be together at Hunterbury.
And they would have been together
there. They would have been together
here-now-not packing up the house
for selling, but redecorating it, plan

proprietary pleasure, happy-yes
happy together-but for the fatal &C.

No, really, I have no feelings about
Hunterbury being sold. Nice of you
to consult me. think you're doing the
wisest thing if you don't fancy living

may have some difficulty in getting
rid of it, though. It's biggish place
for present-day needs, though, of
course, it's been modernized and is
up to date, with good servants quar-
tiers, and gas and electric light and
all that. Anyway, hope you'll have
luck!

Letter from Mr.. Seldom of Messrs.

Miss Elinor Carlisle, July goth:
"1O4 Bloomsbury Square.
Dear Miss Carlisle, Il certainly
think you should accept Major Som
ervell's offer of twelve thousand five
hundred pounds, for Hunterbury.
Large properties are extremely diff
ficult to sell at the moment, and the
price offered seems to be most ad-
vantageous. The offer depends, how
ever, on immediate possession, and !
know Major Somervell has been see
ing other properties in the neighbor-
hood, so I would advise immediate ac-
ceptance.
major Somervell is willing, I un-
derstand, to take the place furnished
for three months, by which time the
legal formalities should be accom-
plished and the sale can go through.
"As regards the lodgekeeper, Ger
rard, and the question of pensioning
him off, l hear from DR.. Lord that
the old man is seriously i'll and not
expected to live.
probate has not yet been granted,
but l have advanced one hundred
pounds to Miss Mary Gerard pend
ing the settlement.

Edmund Seldom"

Letter from Elinor Carlisle to Mary
Gerard, July 25th:
Dear Mary, Il am so sorry to
hear of your fathers death.
II have had an offer for Hunter
bury-from a Major Somervell. He
is anxious to get in as soon as pos
sible. 1 am going down there to go
through my aunt's papers and clear
up generally. Would it be possible
for you to get your fathers things

Dear Nurse Hopkins, Thank
you so much for writing to me about
