"It's hard for her now, but best in the long run. I know. You weren't suited for her." He laughed shakily as he sat down. "I've had such a lark with some girls in a pub," he said.

World was busily engaged during the treatment of Miss Church- Member, but he came repeatedly to her side and spoke words of cheer and urged her strict obedience to all directions.

For the first time Edwin was conscious of genuine pleasure at the sight of his brother-in-law. Albert was a born rosette. "What's all this? What's this? What is it?" he asked sharply. "Hello! What?
