"Rosemary came through it without any harm. She was unconscious at the time of the ‘quake, and knew nothing sbout. There‘s been a considerable imâ€" provement in her condition since." For a minute or two her mood was shadowed by heavy thoughts. But she was too tired to think for long. About her was the bright day, the sun shining on a world from which fear had been miraculously lifted. _â€""‘I‘m glad," said Myrle, a little haltâ€" ingly.

Suddenly Tellforth spoke, so softly that she had to raise her head to catch "I thought you were dead," he said. But when she looked up at him, his face was lifted, he was looking away. She might have fancied that he had never spoken. But those words, so quiet, yet so tense with feeling, had told her all that she wanted to know. To have said, outâ€" right: "I loveâ€"you!" could not have told ner more. Myrle, said nothing.

They suw Evelyn‘s little figure dart out of the gate and come running towards them. Myrle slid to the ground, and Tollâ€" forth dismounted. She stood by while Evelyn launched herselt, yelling ecstatiâ€" cally into her father‘s arm. "Oh, Daddy, why didn‘t you come beâ€" fore? Daddy, Mrs. Henty‘s got a baby! And, Daddy, Myrle and I swam the river. I thought you‘d never coine, river. Daddy! "Well, I can see you‘ve got a lot to tell me," smiled Tellforth.

But she soon pulled herself together bravely, as people in great trouble will. "There‘s only one way of getting Mrs. Henty away from here," Tellforth told Myrle, after she came out of the tent. "And that‘s by plane. We can‘t get a car over the river." "Would it be possible to get a plane?" Tellforth said he thought he could arrange it, either through the Earthâ€" quake Relief Committee, which was running things in Christchurch, or by getting into touch with a friend at the airport. "Can you hold on here for a few hours longer, if I take Evelyn with me, and get down to town immediately?" "Of course, I can," said Myrle "I‘m afraid it‘s the only way."

"Like Lola‘s foal did. But, anyhow, it gidn‘t." When it was time for Tellforth to go, to Myrle‘s surprise Evelyn objected. "But I can‘t go and leave Mynle, she can‘t milk the cow!" When the child had been persuaded to go and say goodâ€"bye to Mrs. Henty, Tellforth said to Myrle with a smvile: "YÂ¥ou seem to have won her heart." "I don‘t know why," said Myrle, but she was touched remembering how three days ago she had wished that Evelyn would dislike her less. "I saw you riding in front of Daddy when you came along the road,‘ said Evelyn when Tellforth lifted her up before him. Both Tellforth and Myrle looked stuâ€" diously indifferent. He held out his hand to Myrle before they started: "Thank you for looking after her." "I‘m afraid all I did was nearly to drown her!" said Myrle, laughing again to hide the sudden tears which rose into her eyes. "Goodbye." His hand gripped hers convulsively for an instant. He looked at her as though he could not trust himself to speak. Then he was gone, Evelyn with never meet again. He would go back to watch over Rosemary‘s sickâ€"bed, to all that was expected of him.
