Before either of them had

"Ton look as if you had been

"That's how I feel," she said
spontaneously, and added: "I
was not really expecting you, of

"I'm not. I'm simply undergo

"I've been shopping and I want

"Go on being tired and let me

She watched him pour out the
tea and was surprised at his deft

him as fumbling at small things.
"How can you know I don't
take sugar?" she asked as he
handed her the cup.
It was on the tip of his tongue
to tell her that he remembered
every incident of the tea they had
had together over seven years ago.

"And now tell me all about ev

back with a sigh of contentment.
She read his thoughts and
laughed.

"No." he laughed back.
"Well. I think 1 11 tell you what

"Good!" he ejaculated.
"I was really living In cotton

I have to buckle to and think
things out. I've spent three hours
this morning talking to. a stupid
artist about the paneling for the
dining-room. At Southampton I
planned to get up to Plnecliff cer
tain particular people I wanted."
"Are you going to make a house
party of It, then?"
"Not until the fifteenth and we
are going up on the first. Roger
thinks I need a bit ot rest, so we
are going to have a quiet fort
night, Your chance to be sociable,
brother Alan. I know there will
be no dragging you there once the
others turn up."
"Because I didn't behave my
self nicely at the Westburyi?
"Because It isn't your game.
"But It Is still yours, eh?"
"Need you ask?" Look at this
house and we have only a little
over tour thousand a year between
us! Of course it's still my game;
if only because already It has
paid."
