When Nigel's brother, Davil, calls to see Nigel's widow, Mary is ashamed to tell him of Dolly's marriage.

Miss Varney introduced Mary. “Miss Tisher—Mrs, Bretherton, Nigel's wife,” Mary held out her hand, She looked a little pale and troubled. For one terrified moment she, too, had wondered if Monty wege here, too. 1f s0-—if so-—-oh, what would have hap- pened ? “l am so pleased to meet you said Dora effusively, She bhent and kissed the girl's grave face. *I do hope we shall be friends, Nigel and I were great chums,” 8he was no longer jealous of Mary.

How could Monty have ever described her as “pretty”? 8he would have heen amazed could she have known how David was con. trasting her with Mary—infinitely to Mary's advantage; he considered her a thousand times more attractive in her simple mourning than Dora in her smartly cut clothes and pink and white beauty. “Mary drove all the way my valuable assistance this after- noon,” he said to Miss Varney.
