Mary flushed a liUie. j "Nigel took me down one day â€" oh,' a long time ago, before he ever knew , of you!" she added quickly, seeing a spark. of anger in her friend's eyes.

Mary stooped and disengaged the ball of wool from the kitten's tiny paws; tho knitting needles began to click again busily. Dolly looked out of the window with dreamy eyes. Mary, glancing af her, wondered what were her thoughts; beyond a tiny pucker between her brows, she looked serene and undis- turbed.
