Such a lack of interest in anything but the most mundane things! The dullest, dreariest kind of materialism!

Tellforth, who was taking leave of her parents, glanced towards Myrle and Rex curiously. Myrle reduced it to a long weekâ€"end, and as Oaptain Daintry was going to Christchurch on the following Friday to a cattle sale, she drove down with him. The homestead had been put in reasonable running order, her. father would cook his own breakfast, and Mrs Daintry admitted with a sigh, that if they had plenty of tinned food she thought she could manage the rest. The Barbours‘ house was a truly paâ€" latial dwelling with two tennis courts a swimming bath, built on the banks of the river Avon. â€" Flowering trees were in bloom everywhere, and the advancing spring had veiled the willows in a haze of green.

But it was too easy. They were unâ€" sophisticated young people, for all their pocket flasks and petting parties. This life would never make her happy cither, Myrle realized. She spent several weekâ€"ends with the Rarbours, and true to his word, Rex Wilde attached himself to her. Everyâ€" body said he was idle and useless. And so he was. Idleness to him was not an exacting occupation, as it was among the effete in Europe. He was silly. But there was kindâ€" ness and honesty in him, Myrle felt. "You and I are alike," he said to her. "We‘re both out of place here. That‘s why I drink too much." "But why do you stay here?" said Myrile. "You could go away."__ could you," said Rex. "You could come with me." _ He was a little drunk at the time; it was after a dance, and they were sitâ€" ting in the Barbours‘ drawingâ€"room having a last drink and playing the gramophone before everyone dispersed for home. 1 A 4 WeE t erérs 4 That evening she went with the Barâ€" Lours to the Race Week Ball, expectâ€" ing to meet Rex.

Tellforth‘s gaze followed her, in the crowd as she moved away with: Rex‘ Wilde; and Rosemary, who had not the: figure to look like a flower, said with a hint of sadness in her eyes: } "she‘s very good looking, isn‘t she ‘George?" | C M_};x_'le let the remark pass as if she hadn‘t heard it. But it putâ€"an idea into her head. Rex had money, twelve hundred a year; they said he would inherit fifty thousand when his father died. Rex could cerâ€" ltainly take down." He .drank, of course. And she could never really love him. But she could help him, and he could help her. When she went back to "Petersdown" for a week Rex rang every day to ask her when she was coming to town, ana when she did go to stay with the Barâ€" bours, he drove up to fetch her. On the way down when they stopped to have lunch he tried to kiss her. For the first time Myrle allowed it. ‘ Tellforth looked surprised at the quesâ€" tion. s "Yes, she is!" he said.
