After dinner we all went out by the door which gives on the Embankment, for it was after 12.30. One of the party proposed that we should walk for a minute or two at least as far as the Strand, before driving home. Oscar objected. He hated walking; it was a form of penal servitude to the animal in man, he declared; but he consented, nevertheless, under protest, laughing.

Millie Stope said once more: "Good night." It was evident to Woolfolk that he could gain nothing more at present; and stifling an angry protest, an impatient troop of questions, he turned and strode back to the tender. However, he hadn't the slightest intention of following Millie's indirectly expressed wish for him to leave.

Jimmy who had sworn a thousand times never to love another woman; Jimmy who had been heart-broken when she sent him away. She broke out in vehement protest: "Oh, no no!" "It's true," said Jimmy obstinately. "It's true." For the moment he was hardly conscious of any feeling except a sort of shock.

The creaking of the hut was like the protest of a wooden ship riding a heavy storm at sea.

There was a longer silence this time, and then it was Sue who put her arm through Blue Bonnet's shyly. "I know what it means," she said. "I have lost my mother, too. I still have my father, though, thank Heaven, and Billy. You must know Billy he's my brother at Harvard the best ever why " Annabel lifted her hands in protest.
