He was very late for lunch. "Everything's cold," wailed his hostess. "Where have you been, Mr. Jerningham?" "Only in the orchard-reading." "And you've missed May!" "Missed Miss May? How do you mean? I had a long talk with her this morning a most interesting talk." "But you weren't here to say good-by. Now you don't mean to say that you forgot that she was leaving by the two-o'clock train?
She came on the two-o'clock train and went away on the four-o'clock, and her visit was like a window flung open to the azure. White Pigeon remained at East Aurora only two hours "not long enough" she said, "to knock the gold and emerald off the butterfly's beautiful wings."
