"I'll have him for Dad, anyhow, even if I don't catch another." "Yes, Dad's breakfast's all right," laughed the Hermit. "But don't worry, you'll catch more yet. See, there goes Harry." There was a shout as Harry, with a scientific flourish of his rod, hauled a small blackfish from its watery bed. "Not bad for a beginning!" he said, grinning. "But not a patch on yours, Norah!"

The allusion to his half-brother, dead nearly a dozen years, seemed to carry him back into a past so remote that he could hardly remember it. He smiled at Norah's enthusiasm, more moved by it than he cared to show. "I've had time to grow big since you deserted us, Norah." A look of terror came into her face. "It wasn't my fault," she gasped, sobbing between her words.

She forgot that, though Kanimapo considered it tolerably secure, he had advised that the ladies, at all events, should limit their walks to the upper valley. "We will not go far," said Norah; "and we shall be sure to see Chumbo, should he by chance come with a warning that danger is at hand." The baby, I should say, had remained with our mother; Kathleen and Mary had come with Margarita.

Thesiger had roped him into their game of whist. I sat out with Viola and Norah in the garden, when Norah told us that she thought Jimmy was a dear. She was the only one of them that called him Jimmy. About ten o'clock next morning Viola came to me and asked me to go up to Jimmy, in his room. He wanted to speak to me. I found him packing, packing with a sort of precise and concentrated fury.

And the stockman, who had known Norah since her babyhood, choked suddenly as he looked at her pale face. Norah was herself again, however, and she smiled at him cheerily. "I'm right as rain, Murty!" she said, in the Bush idiom. "Don't you worry about me." "'Tis pluck y' have," said the Irishman.

Mechanically she let herself be covered up and put on the sofa, her feet chafed by kind hands it gave a vague sense of comfort, though all the time she felt as if it were being done to some one else. And yet had Norah only known, grief would have been turned into thanksgiving. Her husband was not dead. The weary night came to an end at last, as such nights do. Several times Mrs.

"I couldn't tell you then, because it was part of papa's secret, you know. But now it doesn't matter, it isn't a secret any more not papa's, I mean. "Isn't it? Are you sure, Una?" asked Norah. "Quite sure. I said to papa: 'Is it a secret? And he said: 'Not when I'm gone, little one. So you see I may tell you now," said Una sadly.

He thought of all this, and then he thought of what he was the affianced husband of Norah Geraghty! He went along the Strand, over the crossing under the statue of Charles on horseback, and up Pall Mall East till he came to the opening into the park under the Duke of York's column. The London night world was all alive as he made his way.

"Delighted, I'm sure, ma'am! It's a privilege to catch any one like you. Come on, old girl, and I'll clear the track for you." A little farther on the Hermit had halted, looking a trifle guilty. "I'm really sorry, Miss Norah," he said, as Norah and Harry made their way up to the waiting group. "I didn't realise I was going at such a pace. We'll make haste more slowly."

His mind went back to that other funeral, now, as it seemed, such a lifetime ago. Out of all the world these two women only now seemed to abide with him. As he stood beside the grave he was conscious that there was about him a sense of peace and rest such as he had never known before. Could it be true that some of Norah Monogue's fine spirit had come to him?
