"Falsehood, frailty, and infidelity, do not appeal to me as subjects for romance. But, if they did, I certainly should not feel free to put a line into one of my books which I should be ashamed to see my own wife reading." "Oh, safe and excellent standard!" mocked Aubrey Treherne. "No wonder you go down with the British public."
"I doubt it," and Treherne smiled securely. She stooped and whispered one short sentence into his ear. Whatever it was it caused him to start up with a pale, panic-stricken face, and eye her as if she had pronounced his doom. "Do you doubt it now?" she asked coldly. "He told you! Even your skill and craft could not discover it alone," he muttered.
Falchion did not mention my name, nor did she ever in their acquaintance, save in the most casual fashion. Her conversation with Miss Treherne was always far from petty gossip or that smart comedy in which some women tell much personal history, with the guise of badinage and bright cynicism.
The four open strings of the 'cello had given forth their full sweetness and power. "Helen, oh, Helen!" said Ronnie. Then he looked up, and saw Aubrey Treherne. He laughed, rather unsteadily.

"Hush!" whispered Treherne, drawing Octavia to his side with a protecting gesture. Once more the phantom appeared and disappeared, and as they waited for it to cross the last bar of light that lay between it and them, Mrs.
God bless you for it!" Then he left her; and next day she went sadly home, and for many a long day the hollow world saw nothing of Cicely Treherne.

Lady Treherne looked up impatiently. "My dear Maurice, what a coil about a letter! We none of us have it, so do not punish us for the sins of your correspondent or the carelessness of the post."
