She :felt that the holiday had put new life into her. She had ideas now, and was in a. hurry to get home to develop them. La1nbert s housekeeper had found them a. suit- able maid in the person of her own niece, and so she would not be troutbled with much housework and could give up her energies to her mental work. And at Christmas they were expecting Ralph, a. great event to look forward to. Perhaps there was another rea- son, which she would not admit even to herself. At Porlock Lamb- ert had been an occasional visitor. At the Hollies he would always be near, and might be expected to drop in to tea any day. `But that of course could make no difference to her. She told iherselvf so ercely, and yet when she heard that he had gone to London she was conscious of a feeling of disaptpointment. The housekeeper did not know when he would be back: he had a. small at there where he occasionally stayed, and he had taken his man with him. She thought it had something to do with some music of his that was to be performed. Still Anne had little ti.me to trouble witlh regrets `for his absence. She set to work with a good will and was fortunate in getting some stories accepted by a h-igh-standing rm which paid handsomely for them. For the time being the dreaded wolf was banished 'fx'om_the door, and they could pay all their bills, and even purchase some neces- -sary clothing. Life seemed almost sunshiny again, and it was all ow- ing to L'amibert. ...,, |.\.I I-4$|llAl|.l\4A .,. ` He returned from London quite unexipectedly. and. as luck would have it, on his first tour of inspec- tion round the autumnal garden he chanced upon Anne, who was quietly `pacing up and down a shady walk `invisible from either of the two 1 houses. 1 ....... ,. 1 You! she cried, startled, and 'her tell-tale color betrayed her be- fore she could recover her usual composure.

Thanks to you I have been able to continue my work and can even work better than before. and you can't realize what that means to us. You know we have only Sylvia's and i\Iollie s little pensions to live on besides what I earn, and they do not go very far. And before we went away I really did not think we should be able to keep together. I hated to give up the little ones-- mother asked me always to look after them--`but it seemed as if it might be necessary." Don t speak of that, he said, gently. I was only too glad to be able to do a little for you, such a very little, since the house was mine and unoccupied. Yes, I know I might have let it: but what does that signify?

He would not admit to himself how miserable and lonely he was; he pretended tha,t'it was the wea- ther or a. touch or liver, and he had made up his mind to go to London as soon as he could nish an important piece of work.

He was an odd nu-mxber in the world, and the mate he fancied he had found had refused to make a. pair .with him. But the next day broke ne and sunny after a week of rain. LilJ1l1b- ert worked hard all the morning. ate a poor lunch, and then went out into the garden to take his custom- ary exercise. He had become quite a. recluse. Even his friend the Cap- tain scarcely ever saw him nowa- days, and he refused all invitations on the plea of -work.
