"You know, Colonel Faversham," she said, "I cannot help feeling immensely guilty."
They sat down side by side on the horsehair-covered sofa and Eileen Cavendish half-shyly rested her hand on Betty's as it lay in her lap. "I'm a poor creature," said the elder girl. "I wish I had something something in me that other women have. You have it, Mrs. Gascoigne has it, and Etta Clavering. It's a sort of strength.

It was the evening of Adrienne's reception, and Diana was adding a few last touches to her toilette for the occasion.

Diana glanced half-shyly into the long glass panel of the wardrobe door.

Then all at once it came to me.

"S'pose you call me Marm Prudence!" said the good woman, half-shyly. "I don't see as 'twould be any harm, and I should like dretful well to hear the name again. I was a widow when I married Don Noonzio. Yes'm.
