In the composition of these imaginary letters Wentworth tasted joy. In these days Fay's boxes of primroses jostled each other in the postman's cart, on their way to cheer patients on their beds of pain in London hospitals. Fay read the hurried, grateful notes of busy matrons, over and over again. They were a kind of anodyne.

And it was owing to Fay's presence that Jane Withersteen came to see more of Lassiter. The rider had for the most part kept to the sage. He rode for her, but he did not seek her except on business; and Jane had to acknowledge in pique that her overtures had been made in vain. Fay, however, captured Lassiter the moment he first laid eyes on her.

When I said she was strapping-bodied I erred. I must fall back on my other word, which will have to be the last: Miss West is vital-bodied. That is the key-word. When we had regained the poop, and Miss West had gone below, I ventured my customary pleasantry with Mr. Mellaire of: "And has O'Sullivan bought Andy Fay's sea-boots yet?" "Not yet, Mr.

"You have both suffered. Let the dead past bury its dead." Fay's conscience was a wonderfully adaptable one with a tendency to poetic quotation. It showed considerable tact in adopting her point of view. Nevertheless from that generally fallacious standpoint it often gave her quite respectable advice. "Leave him alone," said the hoodwinked monitor. "You are married and Andrea is easily jealous.

His face was as flint, as he looked down at her, and tried to push away her hands. "Let him go, my child," said the Bishop sternly, and he took Fay's hands, and held them. "It is no use trying to keep a man who does not love you. Go, Wentworth. You are right. There is nothing to keep you here.

As they passed hand in hand down the avenue of drooping elms that led from the portal of Lilias Fay's paternal mansion they seemed to glance like winged creatures through the strips of sunshine, and to scatter brightness where the deep shadows fell.

Fay, I've had it on my mind ever since I started wondering whether it was you or your tickler made you duck out of our place last time you were there. I want you to " "Ha-ha! All in good time." In the pancake phone Fay's laugh was brassy. "But I'm glad you've decided to lend a hand, Gussy. This thing is moving faaaasst. Nationwise, adult underground ticklerization is 90 per cent complete."

Then Gusterson's big arms were around him and he was carrying him to the couch. Daisy came running from the kitchen with a damp cool towel. Gusterson took it from her and began to mop Fay off. He sucked in his own breath as he saw that Fay's right ear was raw and torn. He whispered to Daisy, "Look at where the thing savaged him." The blood on Fay's shoulder came from his ear.

Perhaps who knows the tramp of that silent army sounded in little Fay's ears, for she stretched out her dimpled arms and caught Meg round the neck. "Deah Med!" she sighed, and was still. William stood at attention. Presently Meg knelt down by her bed, and according to the established ritual he thrust his head into her encircling arm. "Pray for your master, William," Meg whispered.

Admiration with them is not a luxury, any more than a hot-water bottle is a luxury to the aged, or a foot rest to a gouty foot. It is a necessity of life. After a becoming interval, the interstices of which had been filled with flowers, the duke proposed to Lady Bellairs for Fay's hand. Fay did not wish to marry him. He was not in the least her ideal.
