Dinner was waiting, her father | announced, and Nora preceded them into the room that her | father called pretentiously salle a manger. The bare shining table was {drawn near the open windows.

He burst at |once into talk. “If T had my way we should live in some small village like peasants. ‘We should cobble our own shoes and weave cur own linen and eat |only what we raised with our own | hands, wine and oil and green things that grow under the warm| summer sun.” | “Yoked to the oxen in the field, I suppose and working all day‘ through the burning heat,” Nichol- | as said dryly. “Yes, why not?

He won't tell me what it is. And I'm fright- ened. Couldn't you stay? I feel that you could stop him.” In Nora’s wroubled eyes there was desperate appeal. But Nicholas de- liberately broke the emotional thread of her talk. “I'm going to see a specialist about my hand,” he replied. “There is a good man in Naples, I hear. I shall go tnere.” He wandered off and Nora felt ‘herself shrinking with humiliation. She begged him to stay and he had curtly brushed aside her plea. He simply wanted to be rid of her and her father, as though se- cretly he despised them a little. Yet he had stayed on because it was convenient, accepted her fath- ¢r’s hospitality, and allowed her to take care of him when he was ill ~+“What's happened to the old faun? Look here!” he called. 4iShe followed reluctantly because she did not wish him to see how he ~had humiliated her. _a/Some one had twined a garland ‘of laurel leaves about his battered . head.

But Nicholas thought him a fool; and Nora { meeting his eyes felt a silent tremor | of laughter pass hetween them. His eyes lingered on her and she |knew he was seeing her between |the candle flames, for his expres- sion changed as he somberly stared at her hair, her throat, her hands.

This is our last chance.” She watched them step out. of the window, stood watching them as they paced the garden together, the bright sparks of their cigar- ettes like fireflies. She would never see Nicholas | Thayer again after tomorrow. He would forget her in his wdrk; and she would forget him. Oh, yes, she would forget him! Hard as it would be, she would put out of her mind the memory afi | her humiliation before him.
