"Hullo!" she said cheerfully and unsurprised, and sank down cross-legged at his feet. Orde stood quite motionless, overcome by astonishment.

The minor sculptures on the triumphal arches consist of a repeated winged angel with sword down-turned, by Leo Lentelli; spirited spandrels over the arches, representing "Pegasus," by Frederick G. R.

Checkers in his happiest vein related numberless humorous anecdotes, among them his experience of Remorse and the gold piece. Each of them told his particular pet joke, and all were boisterously applauded.
