And there I sat in my front room, being embraced in a perfume of everybody's lilacs and hawthorns and affectionate interest and moonlight, with a letter in my hand from the man whose two photographs and letters I used to keep locked up in my desk. Is it any wonder I tingled when he told me that he had never come back because he couldn't have me, and that now the minute he landed in England he was going to lay his heart at my feet? I added his colonial honours to his prostrate heart myself, and my own beat at the prospect. All the eight years faded away, and I was again back in the old garden down at Aunt Adeline's cottage saying good-bye, folded up in his arms. That's the way my memory put the scene to me, but the word "folded" made me remember that blue muslin dress again. I had promised to keep it and wear it for him when he came back—and I couldn't forget that the blue belt was just twenty-three inches and mine is—no, I won't write it. I had got that dress out of the old trunk not ten minutes after I had read the letter and measured it. "What in the world—" she began in alarm, but Elinor silenced her questioning with a weak wave of one tired hand. "Oh, do talk English, Griffie dear," begged Patricia, laughing. "Miss Jinny doesn't understand your Choctaw speech.".

"Yes. Your messenger, Battersea, was wandering about your grounds on that night." Patricia looked inquiringly at Elinor, who smiled at her serenely in return, much to Patricia's bewilderment. "Like the fool she is," said the doctor, putting on his hat. "Well, I am going. Will you see me to-morrow morning?" Judith's dismayed exclamation cut short her account of the activities at Greycroft..
