He returned to his work next day, and on his walk to the station passed the scene of Mr Eldred's catastrophe. He could hardly leave it without another look, though the recollection of what he had seen there made him shiver, even on that bright morning.

What will have become of all the forces that, at seventeen, should still be frail as promises, tender as the little green shoots of a first spring-day? But no matter?

He is not so testy as of yore, a change that fills Dulce's heart with misgivings. But the effort to do all this has aged and saddened him; and from time to time his mind wanders restlessly to the young man who left his home full of anger and indignant grief.

"Yes, that is the singular part of this singular affair. She felt slighted because you painted my portrait before hers. I confess I have had my misgivings.

Bill Ward was called out of the dining-room to the telephone almost as soon as Courtland got down to the table. It was Gila on the phone: "Is that you Bill? Well, Bill, this is Gila.
