And having telephoned a telegram, summoning from New York one of his most trusted lieutenants, Colonel Ashley refreshed himself by reading a little in the "Compleat Angler." Jack Young appeared at Lakeside the next day, well dressed, good looking, a typical summer man of pleasing address. "Another diamond cross mystery?" he asked the colonel. "How is your golf?" was the unexpected answer.
But it affected her not at all, she was not even conscious of loneliness, and she hummed gaily to herself as she went along the path which now was beginning to define itself. As she reached the lakeside, however, her song was suddenly checked, and she looked round sniffing the air thoughtfully. There was a fire somewhere, for there was the smell of burning spruce in the atmosphere.
It was late summer again at The Place, late opulent summer, with the peace of green earth and blue sky, the heavy droning of bees and the promise of harvest. The long shadows of late afternoon stretched lovingly across the lawn, from the great lakeside trees. Over everything brooded a dreamy amber light. The war seemed a million miles away.
The white palfrey started forward with the reins loose on its neck. And as she went the eyes of the Lady Sybilla were fixed on the distant hills which hid the sea. So, leaving Sholto standing by the lakeside with bowed head and abased sword, the strange woman went her way to work out her appointed task. But ere the Lady Sybilla disappeared among the trees, she turned and spoke once more.

He and Mazi sat in a room in police headquarters in Lakeside.
He went afoot to the ferry dock, and when the Allawanda floundered in like a porpoise he went on board. It was his first visit to this part of the inlet that separated Lakeside from Loch Harbor, and this means of getting to the yachting center was seldom used by any guests of The Haven.

The Granger girls, meanwhile, were evoking visions of lakeside picnics, not unadorned with the presence of young Mr. Emmerton; while that youth himself speculated as to whether his affable host would let him, when he came back on his next vacation, "learn to run the thing himself"; and Mr.

Came a day, now three years ago, when the king of the whole land brought his folk into our lakeside country, and there held a court and a mote in a fair great meadow anigh to the water.

It was said by some that Mr. Haley would not appear; that he "didn't dare show his head outside the door." About quarter past eight that morning there were many more people on the main street of the lakeside village than were usually visible at such an hour.
