Miss Payne had gone out to dine with one of her former girls, now the wife of a rackety horsy man, whose conduct made her often look back with a sigh of regret to the tranquil days passed under the guardianship of the prudent spinster; so having partaken of tea at their usual dinner-time she sat and mused awhile on the one subject from which she could derive comfort Errington and his wonderful kindness to her.
He and Lydia had been friends since kindergarten days. "I'm going to stay in the Willows all day," said Lydia. "Don't go too fast, Kent." "Dit-up! Dit-up, horsy!" screamed little Patience. "Toot! Toot!

Into the study where Harley and I had been seated quietly smoking, there presently strode a very choleric Anglo-Indian.
