The talk was general. Except to make a remark which she had heard her husband make, Mrs. Haye. a trifle overawed by her surroundings had nothing to say; and Christa'bel found that it was not necessary for her to .say anything in particular herself, even if she could have remembered enough about the subject. because the Belgian and the playwright began an argument. sitting one on either side of her; and all she had to do was to make a murmur of encouragement to whichever one appealed to her. Miss Cavanagh was in town. and Cavanagh was playing host. There me four other guests drinking cock- tails before dinner; a recently succ cs5â€" ful young playwright with a haggard face; an American from the embassy. and his wife; and a Belgian millionaire mine-owner. CHAPTER XVII YOUTH AND AGE The cocktails sparklcd in their glasses under the crystal lamps. and the haze of cigarette smoke rose to the oak beams of the high ceiling. Mrs. Raye. in severe black with a few real pearls, was not out df place; and Christabel, slender in violet. fitted in perfectly with her surroundings in the Kcame Hall library. ‘0! what use is a place like A] THURSDAY MARCH mu. 1939 M__A_, .1 pi h tl' aid [U I] She hardly knew what .shc said: her state of inner confusion still made it difficult for her to know how to respond to peop‘le. Christmbel was moved. She felt very sorry for him. and there was a com- mon chord. as he said. in their feelings. "I'm not unhappy." she told him. “I'm much better! I‘m beginning to r:mem<ber things." And when she thought of Hewitson she felt very far from needing anycne's sympathy. ' ‘(Happy things. I hope?" said Cavanagh; and went on even more feel- ingly. “That is another thing that appeals to me about you! You look so extraordinary sensitive, and yet so in- nocent; I would like to shield that; in- nocence from damage, to protect that sensitivity from being blunted by this abominable ~world--~â€"- ! " His grey eyes. set in their g humoured wrinkles. dwelled on C' tabel seriously and searchingly. ”Don't think that, it‘s only my of youth which draws me to you.

CAVANAGH’S CONFIDENCES Cavanagh shook his head, and stub- bed out his cigarette; from his expres- sion. the contraction of his eyebrow she could see that he was telling the truth and not making an idle bid for her sympathy. “I’m wholly alone!" he said. She sat silently watching him while he stood looking towards the window; the last of the summer twilight stream- ing into the room across the park, showed his hair as whiter. his face more lined; he seemed to have shrunk and grown smaller. as though in his avowed loneliness among so much material grandeur he had really grown old. "My wife died when my boy was five year; old." he said. “And then I lost the boy himself three years ago. Since then I have lost the only person who any case I have no family to lee ve it to, no one!-â€"â€"" He paused, and then added with a rueful smile. “Life seems to have defeated all my efforts to take root from the personal point of view; and in the end I have no one!” Christabel remembered what the matron had told her at the hospital about his life; the death of his wife. and the loss of his son in an aeroplane smash. Her eyes were wistful with sympathy, :but she said deubtfulIy: “Surely. for a man in your Dosh-ion me. Miss Collct? For a while it inte casted me.

On her couch in the sitting-room, feeling rather dull. and with an aching head, Christabel felt as though the end of the summer had come though she would not quite admit to herself how much oi I her disappointment was due to the fact that she would not be seeing Hewitsun But a! halbpast two a tar drove up to the gate: the bell rang. and Hewitson was announced. Christabel‘s heart leaped. If she had had any doubt as to her feelings towards him the surge of joy through her veins as he walked into the room bf t her with very little. “How good of you to come!" she osald. as she stretched out her hand to ’him from her couch. “Ana on such a horrible day !" .on LO feel mg a nd nwppencd :0 "Yes." he Hc Saturday was hot; Christabel was out among the raspberry canes in the Pine Cottage garden «picking radpberries in the .nbroiling sun. while her mother pre- ferred the shade and .1 book in the drawing-room.
