Dr. Gray assured me that father
had rested well during mv absence
and was a little surprised at my
early arrival.
‘Why, it’s just about the time that!
you usually sta.rt out for your dan- j
ces,” he remarked, glancing at his j
watch and making ready for his de-
parture. “Your father will sleep
soundly," he told me, “so go r i
your room and dream of sweethearts,
moonlight and roses.”

“Christmas Carols,” he said softly.
We sat enraptured.

ly enveloping, around my shoulders,
I was soon out in the breeze-swept
place with its narrow brick walks,
rose trellises and myraid flowers.
I do not know how long I sat on
the marble bench bathing my senses
in the still beauty of the starlight,

Wright stood before me.

him welcome and moved the deep
crimson fringe of my shawl so that
he co-aid sit beside me.

gested, after a pause," long before
the others.”
His words brought back the Wind-
sor and Anne Coddington. I did not
reply and in a few moments he again
broke the silence.

I nodded.
“Do you like Billings?”

drawing the words from him.
“Oh, do you, do you really think
so?” I was eager, starved for one
word of approval.
“How could I help it?” he respond-

Then, as if by common impulse,
his arms closed about me. He pushed
my hair gently back from my fore-
head. All thought left me, I was
conscious only of a drowsy sense of
intoxication. His fingers cupped my
chin and again and again he kissed
me.
