He fought with the Boers, but we will not speak of that. Mr. and Mrs. Horsman there I shall say nothing about. Imagine for yourself where they belong." "They are your husband's friends," he decided, unhesitatingly. "You are a young man of great perceptions," she replied. "I am going to like you, I am sure. Come, there is Mr. Starling standing by the door. What do you think of him?"
We determined on riding to Therford, and Harold had hastened to the office to despatch some business first, when Mr. Horsman himself came in on his way to the Petty Sessions to explain matters. Mrs. Randall Horsman had arrived with her children at Therford the day before, flying from the infection of smallpox, for which the doctor had declared Dora to be sickening.
"Not that a debt," said Harold, hoarsely; but Pippa Horsman came and summoned them, and I was obliged to follow, answering old Marianne's entreaties to say what would be good for him by begging for strong coffee, which she promised and ordered, but in the skurry of the household, it never came. The banquet, held in a tent, was meant to be a brilliantly merry one.
I knew they were the evil geniuses of Dermot's life. Lord Malvoisin had been his first tempter as boys at their tutor's, and again in the Guards; and Ernest, or Nessy, Horsman was the mauvais sujet of the family, who never was heard of without some disgraceful story. And Dermot had led my boys among these. All that had brightened life so much to me had suddenly vanished.

I come because I love bridge and because I love my fellow-creatures and because my own friends are none too numerous. With the exception of those worthy friends of our host and his wife who are seated upon your right Mr. and Mrs. Horsman, I believe they are called we are all of the same ilk. Mr.

Clan Horsman knew too well what he had done to deny him anything he asked.
Here we are again. Introduce us, pray." So I did. Mr. Horsman, Miss Hippolyta, and Miss Philippa Horsman Baby Jack, Hippo, and Pippa, as they were commonly termed and we all rode together as long as we were on the Roman road, while they conveyed, rather loudly, information about the Dolomites.
