Mark, you remember Far- Yell Armitage who used to come to our parties from Upper Mallard wicarage? That would be while you ‘were in France, Babs. You weren't there. Mark, show Mr. Armitage—”" “Y'm glad you're not seriously the jworse for your accident,” said Far- fell, sitting down near the’couch, He kept his attention upon Mark. He had bowed to the girl and re- ceived a welcoming murmur that ‘was not echoed by her eyes.. Then he had ignored her. But he didnot need to look at her to be aware of everything about her. The way her hair sprang from her wide, low forehead; the way her hands lay. slackly round a dark leather case “I’m glad to have the chance of thanking you for your timely aid,” said Mark Lodely charmingly. (Ar- mitage admitted the charm.) “I don’t often fall but when I do I feel totally unable to get up again.” “Mark, Mr. Armitage is interested in your—" “I remember your coming to play in our garden, Armitage—a great, hulking brute you were and you put a bigger brute, a cousin of mine, well into the lily-pond, I eouldn’t sleep that night for joy.” “And I couldn't sleep tor—well, I had an interview .with the vicar when I got home,” Armitage recol- lected grimly. “Lord, that dear old man had a wonderful stroke in those days!” Barbara had turned her face to- swar im and he allowed himself @ casual return of her glance. The darkness was passing from her eyes ‘but her lips still suffered. He felt a great longing to see her smile. He began to talk easily, entertain- west oe had traveled, worked, nen and women travel and workee must be something but of all that to make her smile! He talked through Mrs. Lodely’s laugh and presently she stopped laughing and became genuinely amused, Mark's negligent charm quick- ened to excitement—to admiration. His eager comments begged for more,. More life—more fun—more, more! Only the girl at the fire nel- ther laughed nor’spoke, Armitage abruptly turned to her, checking himself in mid-anecdote, Her eyes—and he had been right about them, they were deep hazel— had grown friendly, rather wistful. Unchallenging. Her loveliness was like @ sudden rush of light and be- neath that and beyond it was his feeling that she was his. ‘This ts sho—this is she!”— ... He thrust, everything from him but his strategy. = “I'm. forgetting,” he said. “I sit garrulously here while the question remains unsolved as to why my dancing-partner has left me in the durch.” y The color rose under the white petal skin. “You mean me, Mr. Armitage?. But—I wasn’t going to dance to- night, was I?” * wats “Not” Armitage reminded himself to be very gentle and casual. “Miss Cane must have got confused. She brought me along to a dance—very dolly dance—with the promise of a wonderful partner and then told me to cut along and fetch her.” “Oh, those little hops at the As wBembly rooms!” cut in Mrs. Lodely, “People—young’ people, you know, wubscribe and bring their own part- ners. Didn’t know you were mixed mp in tt, Babg?” i “I'm a meniber, certainly; Leild practically insisted. But I've never @anced there. I can’t imagine why ahe thought I should tonight." She looked with a quiét simplicity to wards Mark. “Aren't you Leila's partner, Armi- tage? smiled Mark. “No, I'm odd man out if Miss Quentin won’t come along,” said Armitage, thinking of the somewhat startled youth whom Leila had dug out of his evening studies in order to bolster up the situation. “Not that that’s of the slightest account, though, if you don’t feel like it, Miss | Quentin?” « “Why don’t you go, Babs? Do} you ® world of good!” urgéd Mrs. Lodely, boisterously. “It’s ridicu- fous you bottlin’ yourself up here because Mark don’t dance!” Again her train of thought was patent. Armitage could be kept in the circle, even if only for the time it took Barbara to change her dress. “J wonder if you’d care to show me some of your work, Lodely?” “Of course he would! Mark, show Mr. Armitage —-oh, anythin’! ‘There’s plenty of it, I’m sure! Only, unfortunately, a whole cupboardful has gone over to the new house at Toxeter and in any case the key’s lost and the door’lt have tobe forced if any of those canvases are ever to see the light again!” Mrs. Lodely. langhed, desteningly. “But surely Barbara there’s a lot of things lyin’ about? What's all those sketches down by your feet, Babs?” “Show them if you like, Barbara,” came ‘from Mark, Something odd, Armitage thought, behind his per. mission. With a quick movement the girl swept up the sketches and put them down at Mark's side. “No,” she said. “You show them, if you like.” , Armitage watched the two of ‘them opis. at eath other. “I'd rather you put them on the fire for me,” said Mark. Then, at last, Armitage saw her smile. ... He became aware that Mrs. Lode ly was arranging matters. “Slip along and change your frock, Barbara. Mr. Armitage’ll wait twenty minutes or so, I'm sure, and in the meantime Mark can dig out some of his work, can’t you, Mark? Not that there's much hope of seein’ "em properly in this light but p'raps if you like "em, you could come again some mornin'—' “In twenty minutes, then, Mr. Armitage?" asked the soft, very clear voice. “But you won't mind if I don’t make it late? I have to be ‘at work at nine tomorrow.” Armitage stood as she and the other woman passed out of the | room. Then he let Mark Lodely eover his couch with portfolios. But it was Mark Lodely he was | stadying as he bent over the work; for it was from Mark Lodely th he would have to buy Barbara.
