The Bowman estate, tral, and beautifully equipped, had been Major Bowman's trump card in the winning of Miss Aurelia Lee, Slip- ping stealthily away upon a vagrant honeymoon after their hasty wedding the pair had written bidding Lee Fair- leigh break the news to Elizabeth Jowman, and to assure her that would lose nothing but gain a lot the change. As Lee raced through hot-white June sunshine toward Grapevine Hill, memory of whose cool shade despite his errand, wondered “if Betsy was looking for him.” Swearing under breath, faster— so fast it barely storied, ances. she by invited, he he sent the car to reach the highway.
