across the table at him, “is here. ’
‘You were quite as bad to me as I was to you,’ Gerald protested mildly, sitting
down beside her. "Stay!" interposed Jonathan. He needed to
laugh, but only she laughed as he chuckled weakly. About noon, next day, he was able to move; and the gale having abated, he set
out homewards with his little charge. ”

forgiven, do you think, if I were to go and hold that skein of wool for the old
lady in the yellow cap?”

the lad following him had immediately sauntered away a yard or two. One
married as he wished and one against his wishes, and now here was Ann

home, going about with hatless friends to Socialist meetings and art-class
dances, and displaying a disposition to carry her scientific ambitions to
unwomanly lengths.
