Linda was with her when she did so, but she had contrived so to conceal her emotion, that nothing was seen and nothing suspected. She felt at once that it was intended that all intercourse should be broken off between them. She knew instinctively that this was the effect of some precaution on her mother's part, and with a sad bosom and a broken heart, she acquiesced in it.

"I did not think, aunt, that the kitchen was the proper place for him." "Any room in this house is the proper place for him," said Madame Staubach, in her enthusiasm. Linda was silent, and Peter replied to this expression of hospitality simply by a grateful nod. "I will not have you give yourself airs, Linda," continued Madame Staubach. "The kitchen not a proper place!

That, Linda decided, was the way she shook hands. Two dark-skinned men, one in conventional evening dress, were with her; they had small fine features and hair like carved ebony. Linda had never before been at an affair with what she was forced to call colored people; instinctively she was antagonistic and superior.

He can devote himself to them without the constant irritation of an unresponsive wife. We've each taken our own road. That's all that has happened." "So far," Linda murmured. "It's a pity. I liked that big, silent man of yours. I like you both. It seems a shame things have to turn out this way just because oh, well.

I meant to talk it over with you but now I know, I know. You shall have your little chapel in the hills. We will build it together you and I for Linda."

Something in Linda Benton's parting words made her acutely lonely, dispirited, out of joint with the world she was deliberately fashioning for herself. Into Linda's life something big and elemental had come. The butterfly of yesterday had become the strong man's mate of to-day.

Eileen stood at the window watching them, and never had her heart been so full of discontent and her soul the abiding place of such envy or her mind so busy. Just when she had thought life was going to yield her what she craved, she could not understand how or why things should begin to go wrong. As the Bear Cat traversed Lilac Valley, Linda was pointing out Peter Morrison's location.

Before she had reached the island, she knew that the one scheme was as impossible as the other. She entered the house very quietly, and turning to the left went at once into the kitchen. "Linda, your aunt is waiting dinner for you this hour," said Tetchen. "Why did you not take it to her by herself?" said Linda, crossly. "How could I do that, when she would not have it?
