For reasons beyond our comprehension as yet, the Odontoglossum stands in different case. No one in England has raised a plant from seed that we may venture to say definitely. Mr. Cookson and Mr. Veitch, perhaps others also, have obtained living germs, but they died incontinently. Frenchmen, aided by the climate, have been rather more successful.
There was also another letter addressed to herself in the same handwriting. She opened it and glanced through it 'DEAR MISS COOKSON, I think I have made everything as easy for you as I can on this side. You won't have any difficulty. I'm awfully glad you're coming. I myself am much puzzled, and don't know what to think.
And his thoughts went back to his first interview with Bridget Cookson on the day when their engagement was announced. He could see the tall sharp-featured woman now, standing with her back to the light in the little sitting-room of the Manchester lodgings. She had not been fierce or abusive at all. She had accepted it quietly with only a few bitter sentences. 'All right, Mr. Sarratt.
'Well, they'll settle that. The tone was sharp and off-hand. And the maid-servant, as she went downstairs, decided for the twentieth time that afternoon, that she didn't like Miss Cookson, and she hoped her sister, Mrs. Sarratt, would be nicer. Miss Cookson had been poking her nose into everything that afternoon, fiddling with the rooms and furniture, and interfering with Mrs. Weston. As if Mrs.

'DEAR MISS COOKSON, I am writing to you, in the first instance instead of to Mrs. Sarratt, because I have a vivid remembrance of what seemed to me your sister's frail physical state, when I saw you last May at Rydal.
"We found that the obstruction was a big wire across the river, with boats made fast to it. An attempt to sink the center dhow of the obstruction by gunfire having failed, Lieutenant Commander Cookson ordered the Comet to be placed alongside and himself jumped on to the dhow with an ax and tried to cut the wire hawsers connecting it with two other craft forming the obstruction.
And further, certain by-generic seedlings have utterly ignored one parent. Zygopetalum Mackayi has been crossed by Mr. Veitch, Mr. Cookson, and others doubtless, with various Odontoglossums, but the flower has always turned out Zygopetalum Mackayi pure and simple which becomes the more unaccountable more one thinks of it.
Bridget Cookson slowly signed her name to the letter she had been writing in the drawing-room of the boarding-house where she was accustomed to stay during her visits to town. Then she read the letter through 'I can't get back till the middle or end of next week at least. There's been a great deal to do, of one kind or another.
'You brought her up from Torquay? 'I did. We slept in London, and arrived yesterday. Miss Cookson comes this evening. 'Why doesn't she keep away? said Farrell, impatiently. He took a seat opposite his cousin. He was in riding-dress, and looked in splendid case.
