Her fire was quite low she was cold," the children shivered sympathetically, "first we will do the tune so." Felicia's beautiful lips closed. Remember that you could hardly see her lips move when she whistled and remember how very beautiful her whistle was! Such a gay little tune, that old, old tune, Au Clair de la Lune! The wide-eyed children watched her, humming as she motioned.
Apart from such little dramas, which in no way affected the tenderness of their hearts, these two beings adored each other with the presentiment and, gradually, the cruel certitude of an approaching separation, when suddenly there occurred in Felicia's life a horrible event. One day, Jenkins had taken her to dine at his house, as often happened. Mme.
The music was growing softer, fainter, the fat man had cleared his throat for singing. Felicia's heart stood still. The moon shone gloriously, it made little white eyes of the narcissi that stared up at her from the garden border. The wind stirred in the ivy. Felicia sighed. His head, beautifully rumpled, topped the wall, he was still laughing softly, talking to the man below.
If Louis were to make up his mind to return, it was better, after all, for him to discover that I had been deceiving him than to have him come upon me unawares! From the top of a chair I was easily able to see through the transept into the sitting-room. At my first glance I thought that it was empty. Then, however, I saw Louis come in from the outer hall, as though from the door of Felicia's room.

Your father didn't leave the property to me not any part of it he left it to you, you spendthrift! When I get too old to work I am going up to Felicia's and pick out an easy-chair and sit in a corner and dry up gradually and be laid away in lavender. No, my lad, not a penny!
Then silence fell on the whole square at last at the end of three weary hours of waiting. It came. Felicia's first impulse was to lower the blind on her side, on the side past which the procession was about to pass.
He kissed her cheek. "By the way, though, does it ever occur to you to think of the Bhutpur Sultan-i-bagh and wish to go East again?"

Felicia's head was no sooner on the pillow than she plunged into sleep. Netta, on the other hand, was for a long time sleepless. The luxury of the bed and the room was inexpressibly delightful and reviving to her. Recollections of a small bare house in the Apuan Alps above Lucca, and of all that she and Felicia had endured there, ran through her mind, mingled with visions of Threlfall as she had known it of old, its choked passages the locked room from which she had stolen the Hermes the great table in Edmund's room with its litter of bric-

"Well, I'm off," replied Elisabeth, whipping up her pony, "to hear Mrs. Herbert's outpourings on Felicia's happiness; when I come back I expect I shall be able to write another poem on 'How does the water come down at Lodore' with a difference."
Felicia's absurd whine for the timorous lover always made Bele snort from his corner, "But boldly cry 'Widow, thou MUST " Ah, the deep contralto of that boyish voice of hers roundly mouthing the pompous swain's wooing!
