"Thanks," he said, "if that is understood, I shall be happy to come. I will drive over from Yarleys in time for dinner to-morrow. Perhaps you will say so to Barbara." "She will be glad, I am sure," answered Mr. Haswell, "for she told me the other day that she wants to consult you about some outdoor theatricals that she means to get up in July."

At the Garden a Wild West show with rings and side performances had long ago disgorged its crowds and quieted its pandemonium of brass bands. Len Haswell had been walking with the aimlessness of insomnia, and asking himself over and over one question: "What changed it all?"

First Mate William Haswell kept a diary in a most conscientious fashion, and here and there one gleans an item with a humor of its own.
That is her note, which I saved. However, it is the sequel about which I wish your help." The physician folded up the patched letter carefully before he continued.
