BISHOP'S
WEAKNESS
Tibdiddibibbb bb rbd bib dn
Lady Athea Bullen sat quite alone
in her boudoir, although Christmas
Eve was more than half erased from
the calendar of days.
Usually, at this time of the year,
Dormy Place had not been big enough
for the number of guests it was call-
ed upon to welcome, and if every
room gay voices and laughter made
an atmosphere of youth and well-be-
fog for the son of the house, who
carried the joy of living in every
feature of his debonair face, and ev-
ery movement of his agile figure.
But the potentialities that le
wait for contented mortals had
changed all that—a week ago: and
Lady Althea, having cancelled her
thirty invitations, sat and endured
the result—silence and loneliness.
Her handsome gray eyes, hard and
bright, stared at the fire: her mouth,
always a resolute one, set itself into
firmer curves than usual as though
it would repress, by sheer force of
will, a tendency to droop or quiver;
her hands folded themselves in each
other with a mutual assurance that
they needed no familiar clasp to hold
and warm them.
