Rlackport was suicide. ~Merioneth House, Hamilton Place, London, S.\V., was n.omin_ ally Sir Glare Monk s town resi- dence. t In reality Sir Glare had about as much to do with Mel--. iu;1eth House as he had with. Bucking'ha_m. Palace or the Savoy Hotel. . True; he` paid the rent and the other incidental expens- es, which, by the way, were by no means inconsiderable, but it was purely and simply Theodo_ rats abode, and over it "and its elaborate household she reigned supreme. Sir Glare would no more have "gone there unnounced. than he wouldhave opened Lord Mancrof_t s front door and walked into the Mancroft mansion in Grosvenor Place. It was a small house even for L0ri_d0n, which has been describ- ed by a great Spanish novelist as a vast city of cottages. It was smazller even than mid-Vict0rian Dunbury; but it} was a gem of a house `for all that and it had (me nf_ the finest. hallmoms in the metropolis. It/s"walls were hung with some of the finest and rarf est exarnples of Rennaissance art.

Theodora was too excited to do justice to the dainty _little meal which was `waiting her in the Powder-Blu_0 _ Room. She ran `quickly through her correspon- dence, and saw Mrs, Camber, her lmusekeeper, and gave a few or- ders" concerning ithe immediate fllture. A great many people had call- ed during the last day or two, when she had been absent in B_lackp0rt,, and her table was lil- tered with invitlaldnns and cards and little notes; But she left them all to 160k after themselv.' es till later in the day, when she vainly hoped her mind would be freer.
