I read him bits about Laura from your own and Di's letters, and he went away at last as patient as Jacob ready to serve another 'seven years' for his beloved Rachel."

Lady Diana is in such a rage as never was says Dermot is never to be trusted with his sister again, and won't let her go beyond the garden without her. Oh, the fun of it! I would have gone anywhere to see old Lady Di's face!" I do not recollect anything happening for a good while. Our chief event was the perfect success of Mr.

And John led the laugh at the picture he had conjured up, to turn the thoughts of Di's dangerous sister from himself. At ten Nan retired into the depths of her old bonnet with a far different face from the one she brought out of it, and John, resuming his hat, mounted guard. "Don't stay late, remember, John!" And in Mrs. Lord's voice there was a warning tone that her son interpreted aright.

Henceforth I take it for my guide and gospel, and, looking back upon the selfish and neglectful past, can only say, Heaven bless your dear heart, Nan!" Laura echoed Di's last words; for, with eyes as full of tenderness, she looked down upon the sister she had lately learned to know, saying, warmly,

"No," Lulu said, "I couldn't help that. And I couldn't help his other wife, either." "Bigamy," said Dwight, "that's a crime." "I've done no crime," said Lulu. "Bigamy," said Dwight, "disgraces everybody it touches." "Even Di," Lulu said. "Lulu," said Dwight, "on Di's account will you promise us to let this thing rest with us three?" "I s'pose so," said Lulu quietly. "You will?" "I s'pose so."

Eagle took his departure; and we, and lots of his new friends, went to Euston to see him off for Liverpool, Di, no doubt, secretly thinking that sort of public "good-bye" safer than a private one. As for our going to America, the scheme hung by a thread, as I guessed soon after Eagle's back was turned. A bird in the hand is always worth at least two in the bush, and Di's hand was ready.

And John led the laugh at the picture he had conjured up, to turn the thoughts of Di's dangerous sister from himself. At ten Nan retired into the depths of her old bonnet with a far different face from the one she brought out of it, and John, resuming his hat, mounted guard. "Don't stay late, remember, John!" And in Mrs. Lord's voice there was a warning tone that her son interpreted aright.

Yes, she's a talented dear, though she hardly knows a needle from a crowbar, and will make herself one great blot some of these days, when the 'divine afflatus' descends upon her, I'm afraid." And Nan rubbed away with sisterly zeal at Di's forlorn hose and inky pocket-handkerchiefs. "Where is Laura?" proceeded the inquisitor.

"A picker up of unconsidered trifles!" the scotched, not killed minx in me couldn't resist quoting, at the suggestion that I was welcome to Di's leavings if I could bag them. But neither Father nor Di was paying the slightest attention. Further than that he did not look, for we should be living board free most of the time; and besides, something was almost sure to turn up.

Fearing from Di's expression that she would be capable of reading aloud choice selections from Major Vandyke's version of events, I simply couldn't stay to risk hearing them. I jumped up and fled with my two prizes. Locked safely in my room, delicately I cut the edge of Eagle's envelope.
