This was the kind of neigh- borhood in which women wore their kitchen aprons under their coats and hurried to market with string bags on their arms. The street lamps were lighted and the trees proclaimed to all these faded house fronts that it was spring. The taxi stopped with a jolt in this be- draggled neighborhood. “Here we are,” Jon cried with rélief. Jon was paying the taxi driver, tumbling her bags out on the side- walk while Nora looked about he:. Dove Street was in the older part of the city, and must once have known a certain fine dignity. ‘But small shops had edged in between the red brick, high-stooped houses.

Nora stood staring at the door while Jon rang the bell, Suddenly she was a small girl again, shrink- ing with sensitiveness, a sick feel- ing at the pit of her stomach.

Her cousin Frances, dark and lovely, who stood with a violin pressed against her shoulder, and, as Nora stepped forward and they lifted startled faces to her, she saw her older cousin Hallet rise suddenly and move grotesquely, and uncertainly on crippled feet, toward her. But it was Aunt Emily who reached her first and took her into a warm embrace. “It's Nora, isn’t it? We hoped you would come straight to us!” | Nora introduced Jon Thayer to them. She had a strong impression of her father's family. Of a search- ing poverty that brought back her own childhood “with its dirt and drudgery and petty pretense. Her father had known all the time that his sister and her children were middle-class people. No matter what hardships she had gone through she had always bolstered up her courage with the knowledge that her father came of a fine old family. This, then, was the truth. Nora heard a controversy raging behind her. Jon must hear it too. “She can have my room. “But where will you sleep?” “She can't sleep in Fran's room with the children. They'll keep her awake. I can sleep on a cot inthe store room.” “She can have my room!” fair child cried. Aunt Em waved them all to silence. She told Nora that Frances would take her upstairs at once.

What a forlorn creature! Jon said with a compassionate smile that made her dislike him even more violently, “I'll come for you tomorrow afternoon then?”’ She would have liked to tell him that she never wanted to see him again. But Jon was only eager to be off; and after saying good-night to her cousin he turned and ran down the stairs as though he were rid of a painful duty.
