Chapter 25 “ THE CABLEGRAM { HEORGIE went heme with a' strange feeling of excitement, it ‘almost seemed as if the closed doors of Life, as other people knew it, had islowly begun to open and let her through. + She sighed and let herself into the house. It was five o'clock and there was & smell of burning toast in the howse; why was it that Mrs. Drill ‘could never make toast with- .out burning it, Georgie wondered impatiently, and she thought rather wisttully of the wonderful lunch she had had; tea ‘would probably have been just as good if they had had it in the same restaurant. ' Mrs. Drill came out o the kitchen. “Your uncle’s been hollerin’ all over the place for you,” she said. “Where is he?” Georgie asked. *Gone out, but there's a telegram on the dining-room table, and he #aid I was to tell you to read it.” Georgie went into the 'dining- room; the telegram lay on the tray beside an empty tumbler, and she took it up with a vague feeling of distaste. Whoever ¢ould be sending a tele- gram? She could not remember ever Having seen ‘one”in ‘the "Housc be- fore. This was on different paper to the usual ones too; she looked at the printed heading curiously. It was a cable, brieg but to the point. “Arriving Friday the twenty-sec- ond. Evelyn.” Georgie always thought it seemed tubhy her mother should invariably slgn herself by her christian name and mot “Mother.” Friday' the twenty#econd was next Friday; funny they should have troubled tu cable her at all. She was of sueh 1ittle Importanée 1a the lite of thizs woman who would sign her- self Evelyn. Mrs. Drill spoke from the door- way. : “No bad news, 1 hope?” She was | 81l inquisitiveness. “No, only that my mother is com- ing home,” Georgle said. “That will be nice,” Mrs. Driil said \ trifle disappointedly; to her way )t thinking telegrams only meant sme thing, and that was bad news. She waited a moment and then went back' to the kitchen to finish atirhigg the toast. HEN Edward Bancroft came home latér in the evening, he sould talk of nothing else but the sablegram; he seemed to consider it as a personal insult. “Wasting money—the kind of thing an empty' headed woman would do. Why the devil.does she want you to know that she arrives on Friday the twenty-second? She's oot coming to see you, I'll bet a Gver.” “I think ft was kind of her” - Georgie said. “Kind!" FEdward Bancroft roared tike a bull. “She doesn’t know the meaning of the wnrd Wherel the whisky?” o Georgle escaped. !he went “out Into the garden and lookeéd at the moon, It was a youag moon like a thin sickle, and it lay on its back, which Lovelock had always de- ¢lar:d was a bad sign. She supposed that thy same moon whone ‘down on Gérmany, where Nicholas would soon be; they would have that in common anyway; not that e cared whether they had any- thing in common or not. . Georgie opened the ereaking iron gate and looked out fnto the road. 1t was nearly mine o'clock, and everything was very still. Up in a tree somewhere an M called mournfully, and away in the distance a dog was barking; they were the only sounds to be heard except @ slow fo0tstep coming down the road. A slow, ‘umeven footstep. Georgle's beart missed @ ‘beat; a’ would know that footstep any- ere; surely it she were ‘dead and 4¢ passed over her grave she would know it. She stood staring, her heart beat- {ast, : | 9t ‘words:that, c! Boyd came on, slowly; was he toming to the house? Coming to see her? She could hardly breathe. E drew level with the gate, and stopped, looking towards the house; then after a moment he went slowly on again. Georgle could bear it no longer;’ she ran out into the road. “Mr. Boyd—" He stood still at once, turning to face Ler. She tried to think of some- thing to say, but of all the hundreds red: at the door, ‘of fer'Btain shi coulld ‘speak none.| '@hah be Said— ¥ Georgle felt lht dooru of life open. “It’s a lovely night.” Georgie 10oked up at the moon again. “It's on its back,” she said, “and that's a bad slgn, isn’t 1t?" but even as sho spoke her heart denied the words; how could anything be a bad sign when this man was with her? : “Have you been to London?” he asked. “Yes.” “Have a good time?” “Yes.” The silence fell agah, wh!ch Georgie broke recklessly. “I'm so glad to see you. I wanlad to say how sorry I am about yu«‘ terday.” “Sorry for what?” ( “For being such a fool,” she said, vehemently. dia.” “You didn’t mean them?" asked quietly.
