Newthorpe asked: 'What is Egremont doing, then, do you suppose? 'I can form no idea. 'Won't you write to him? 'I think not. The poor fellow is, no doubt, going through his 'everlasting Nay, as he used to say a few years ago; I fear it has come in earnest this time. He will come to me when I can really be of use to him. If I see him just now I shall have to act too much I am bad at that.

Newthorpe just cast a rapid eye over his daughter's face; Annabel wore a look of quiet amusement. 'Has he been here since then? Paula inquired, tapping a second egg. 'We lost sight of him for two or three months, and of course he always makes a mystery of his wanderings. 'We saw him last in October, her uncle answered, 'when he had just returned from America.

He said I had done him a great kindness. 'Oh, if one could be a man like that! The words answered to his thoughts, yet implied something more than their plain meaning. They uttered more than one regret, more than one aspiration. 'Let me take it, Walter. 'One moment! This was Thyrza? 'Let me take it. 'Tell me has Miss Newthorpe seen it? 'Yes. Mrs. Ormonde bore the picture away.

What did they not discuss? From classical archaeology to the fire-new theories of the day in art and science, something of all passed at one time or another under their scrutiny. Yet there was the limit imposed by fine feeling. Mr. Newthorpe never tried to pass the sacred bound which parts a father's province from that of a mother.

Newthorpe, for she foresaw that it could not turn out very well, and she had been obliged to censure her sister for excessive devotion to the pleasures of Society; it grieved her, on the other hand, to think of her poor niece being brought up in a way so utterly opposed to all the traditions. But these were only little ripples on the smooth flowing surface.

Newthorpe could discern, nothing more than the interest of friendliness. As the months went on, he discerned no change. Her life was as cheerful and as steadily industrious as ever; nothing betrayed unsettlement of the thought. If her father by chance entered the room where she studied, he found her bent over books, her face beautiful in calm zeal.

Newthorpe felt able to leave Ullswater, and Annabel had little mind to leave him for such a purpose immediately after their establishment at Eastbourne. Indeed, she would rather not have attended the wedding under any circumstances. Her father had been gravely ill. There was organic disease, and there was what is vaguely called nervous breakdown; it was too clear that Mr.

Annabel met his look for a moment, expressing all the friendly interest which she felt. Mr. Newthorpe, who had been pacing on the grass, came to a seat. He placed himself next to Paula. She glanced at him, and he said kindly: 'You are quite sure you don't feel cold? 'I dare say I'd better go in, she replied, checking a little sigh as she closed her magazine.

'By what inconceivable chance does this happen, Miss Newthorpe? he said, taking her offered hand. 'Surely the question would come with even more force from me, Annabel made answer. 'You might have presumed me to be in England, Mr. Egremont; I, on the other hand, certainly imagined that you were beyond the Atlantic. 'I have been in England a day or two. 'But here? Looking down upon West Dean?

'Bella mia, you are greatly disillusioned for a young girl. 'I don't feel that the term is applicable to me. I am disillusioned, father, because I am getting reasonably old. 'You live too much alone. 'I prefer it. Mr. Newthorpe seemed to be turning over a thought.
