Mr.. Jones made no reply.
There was no need telling his

really stranger-not to him, any,
way. No girl who brought back
such pleasant memories of his boy

sibly be classed as a stranger.
He went on milling, told Mrs.
Jones that he was leaving all the
dinner arrangements TO her and
gave his attention to the lamb
