Each knew that the other must be aware of it, but the subject was far too tender to be touched, at any rate as yet. And so matters went on, and Alaric regained the footing of favour which he had for a while lost with the mistress of the house. But there was one inmate of Surbiton Cottage who saw that though Alaric spent so much of his tune with Mrs.
Wyndham was dressed and down-stairs before twelve o'clock, which had never before occurred in the memory of the oldest servant. "It is too perfectly exciting, my dears," she exclaimed as Joe and Sybil entered the room, followed at a respectful distance by Ronald. "I can't stand it one minute longer! How do you do, Mr. Surbiton?" "What is the latest news?" asked Sybil.
Before they had finished their meal the door opened, and Ronald Surbiton entered the room. "Oh excuse me," he began, "I did not know" "Oh, I am so glad you have come, Ronald," cried Joe, rising to greet him, and taking his hand. "Sybil, let me introduce Mr. Surbiton Miss Brandon." Sybil smiled and bent her head slightly. Ronald bowed and sat down between Sybil and Miss Schenectady.
She never thought much about Ronald. She had long been used to him, and regarded him in the light of a marriage fixture, though she had never exactly promised to marry him; she had been brought up to suppose she would, and that was all. When or where the marriage would actually take place was a question she did not care to raise, and if ever Surbiton raised it she repressed him ruthlessly.

They had just got back from the Surbiton Tournament. They had done awfully well both of them. The tall one, Anna's the best. Fancy, wasn't it stupendous luck for her!

There's a big fete of Vegetarians, I know, at Surbiton to-day, but I can hardly think these people 'Don't wait, Minks, said the other, who had taken his seat. 'I'll let you hear from me, you know, about the Scheme and other things.
I then set out, and about five o'clock was at Surbiton, near my aim; I kept on, expecting every few minutes to see the great city, till darkness fell, and still, at considerable risk, I went, as I thought, forward: but no London was there. I had, in fact, been on a loop-line, and at Surbiton gone wrong again; for the next evening I found myself at Wokingham, farther away than ever.
