It was a warm evening, and I 'adn't got even a bus fare on me. I 'ad to walk all the way, and, by the time I got there, I was 'arf melted.

Especially if she was a nice-looking girl," he added for his own personal edification as he preceded his companion into the hall. He was fumbling in the tail pocket of his short tweed coat as he went. In the hall he turned.

"Oh yes, gentleman," said a nice-looking woman, who holding a little child by the hand was come to the house-door, and was eagerly listening, "we have frequently heard speak of Gronwy Owen; there is much talk of him in these parts."
No one likes to tell him that he has acquired this habit of turning up the king; he is so poor! She was rather nice-looking once, and I amused myself with fancying that I loved her. She was to me the summer pilot of an empty heart unto the shores of nothing.
