We'll have Prime and his wife here for dinner to-night, and drive them out somewhere this afternoon. I remember Mark Prime well. I played golf with him one season at Del Monte. How did you happen to know him, Becky?" Becky told of the Major's sojourn to King's Crest. The Copes made separate plans for the afternoon. "If I can't have you to myself, Becky," Cope complained, "I won't have you at all "
We wished one another boas entradas, the 'buon' principio' of Italy, and remembered the procession of seventeen years ago.

The tables were by this time nearly covered, but all stood waiting, for there flowed in from the great doorway of the hall a gorgeous train first, a man bearing the double archiepiscopal cross of York, fashioned in silver, and thick with gems then, with lofty mitre enriched with pearls and jewels, and with flowing violet lace- covered robes came the sturdy square-faced ruddy prelate, who was then the chief influence in England, and after him two glittering ranks of priests in square caps and richly embroidered copes, all in accordant colours.

Then she came close to George. "You see," she said, "I am not a pixie or a mermaid. I am the spirit of the storm." The Admiral's rheumatism had taken Becky to Boston.
