'She said: who is she, may I ask you? Lady Dunstane mentioned her name. Daughter of the famous Dan Merion? The young lady merited examination for her father's sake. But when reminded of her laughter-moving speech, Mr.
'It is written that I should live in barracks, Lady Dunstane said. The colour of it taught white to impose a sense of gloom. Her cat's love of the familiar inside corners was never able to embrace the outer walls. Her sensitiveness, too, was racked by the presentation of so pitiably ugly a figure to the landscape.
'I need not ask you have come from Lady Dunstane, she said. 'Is she well? 'She is deeply anxious. 'You are cold. Empty houses are colder than out of doors. You shall soon have a fire. She begged him to be seated. The small glow of candle-light made her dark rich colouring orange in shadow. 'House and grounds are open to a tenant, she resumed.

Well, to-morrow, if not to-day, the tripping may be expected! Lady Dunstane resigned herself sadly to a lowered view of her Tony's character. This was her unconscious act of reprisal.
