People like Neville think that
they can always have everything
their own way--and have every
thing they want, too. l don't sup
pose Neville has ever had a setback
over anything in his life till he
came UP against this business Of
Audrey. Well, he's got It now He
can't have Audrey. she's out Of
his reach. No good his making a
song and dance about It, Hes Just
got to lump it,
Il suppose you're quite right.
But you sound hard. Audrey was

she married him--and they always
got on together so well"
We'll, she's out Of love with him
now"

Thomas was going on:
And I'll tell you something else.
Neville had better look out for Kay.
She's a dangerous kind OF young
woman-really dangerous. If she
got her temper up she'd stop at
nothing"
"Oh, dear" Mary sighed Fni. re-
turning to her original remark said
hopefully: wen, It's only two days
more"
Things had been very difficult
for the last four OF five days. The
death Of Mr. Treves had given Lady
Tressilian a shock which had told
adversely on her health. The fu-
neral had taken place in London
for which Mary was thankful, since
II enabled the old lady 70 take her
mind OF the sad event more
quickly than she might have been

mystic opened his eyes. A great
