Blair scrutinized the eclump ¢ bushes. He had supposed the whit thing flitting about there to be a slin beam from the moon. “But the gardeners never come down here and uncle is away, so it is all right." The voice was nearer to Blair than before. He shaded his eyes and looked more closely. A low ripple of laughter ac- companied his search. “Here 1 am.” She had parted the bushes and still Blair felt that a wedge of moonbeam had squeezed down through the trees. He stared at her with his hand shading his eyes. “l can't see whether or not 1 like your eyes,” she said half petulantly Blair obediently dropped his hand and turned toward the light that came from the small door of his cara- van. The dreamer's look was in his eyes and the dreamer's whimsical smile on his lips. Molly looked at him with grave eyes for a moment. *“What are you doing here?" she asked, edging nearer to him, “lLooking for fairies—like you,” he said in the tone of one speaking to a child. “I am eighteen” She resented his tone. “And then what do yon do?” 1 weave them into fairy tales.” “I suppose that you mean you are a writer and that your name is in all the big magazines?" “About that,” he smi'ed your caravan?” she asked.
