No" he muttered, half to himself, turning from the contest with his brother to gaze on her "no, I never did never do forget you." "I believe that. Come and speak to me here."

Goward gravitated over to where I sat in the big bay-window behind the piano; he had that "be-good-to-me,-won't-you?" air that I know so well! Then we got to talking and listening in between whiles he knows lots of girls in the Art League till Peter began playing that heart-breaking "Im Herbst" from the Franz Songs, and then he said: "You're going to be my sister, aren't you?
She walked between them and her father, who went before, lecturing on each apartment, and taking the credit of the whole affair more and more as he talked on.
