his hat, which he removed when he saw
111c, en the back of his bend.
"I thought Londoners ncvei get up
till the earth was thoroughly aired," he
said, laughing as ivc shook hnnds.
"I'm net a Lendener," I said. "At
least I'm going te try te forget that
I nm."
Mrs. Albcrry was fussing nreund :
hadn't I slept well! wasn't the bed
comfortable; had I been cold? She
took it for granted that every reason
but the real one wus responsible for
my early appearance.
"It was a lovely bed, and I slept
like a top," I assured her. "But I
like getting up early. I always get
Inte rows at home for getting up early,
and can't I have some
breakfast, tee?" I a-jked dnxleusly.
She brought mu n chnir and Insisted
en making fresh coffee and fresh toast
for me. She had planned Riich a lovely
hrcaicfast for me, she sutd ; she jeept
en apologizing for the "muddle."
I couldn't sec any muddle, and It
would have been all the same if I had.
I was quite happy.
Jehn Alberry and Mr. Andersen were
talking about sheep and Macks, and un
interesting things Hkp thet. They did
a great de-il of busihtss tegwher, se
Mrs. Alberry Informed me in an npolo npelo npole
gellc whisper. They seemed te have
forgotten my presence, and I felt rather
nggric7cd.
Then presently Mr. Albcrry get his
coat and said he must be getting our.
It was still-quite dark outside, and Ills
wife followed him te the deer, and
Mr. Amhrf-en nnd I we're left nlene.
"Se you didn't take cold yesterday?"
he said.
I looked round at him.
"Of ce-ir.se net! Why should I?"
He shrugged his shoulders-.
"I thought perhaps ou weren't usd
te (lrUinB' miles tlueugh tuuntrj like
this in an open trap."
"Yeu mean tint you think because
I coma from Londen I'm the seit of
girl who ftmvcH and can't stand things,"
I nnswercd loftily. "Why don't jeu
say what veu mean?''
II raised his blows comically.
"Well, 3011 heve said it for inc." he
submitted. "Won't ou have some
mere toast?"
1 looked round the table
"It seems te be gene," I said. "Un
h.s you would like te make me some."
1 cut a slice of biead, stuck it en a
toasting fork which hung beside the
fueplacC, nnd gave it te him.
"And don't burn it," I said. '
IIe went down en one knee beside
the Hie.
"De jeu always order people about
like this?" he asked.
I stared at him.
"Well no! I don't think I de," 1
said uncertainly. "What de you
mean?"
lie answered without looking at inc.
"Only that I am beginning te under
stand why they find jeu rather a hand
ful nt home."
I think he only spoke jokingly, but
for some reason it made me furleuslj
angry. After till, we were compara
tive strangers, and for him te dare te
take 111c te task was tee much.
"Wluit'de jeu mean?" I nsked in u
elcc 01 deadly calm.
"Only that you ccm rather a willful
jeung lady," he snld unsuspectingly.
"M11. Alberry tells me that already
jeu'c refused te have your meals In
the parlor, nnd I'e seen for myself
that you've refused te stay in bed till
things arc made comfertablo down here.
And new leek nt me down en my
knees because jeu erdeicd me; and I
give you my word that it's the first time
I ve ever been en my knees te please
any woman."
CHAPTER VIII
Ixne's Course Runs Smeeth
Ter 11 moment I was tee astounded
te speak ; then I leaned forward and
snatciied tnci toasting frl: from him.
"Hew date you say such things te
me.'' I said. "De jeu think I want
u te make the horrid toast for me?
De jeu think I ever wanted te conic
te this hateful place nt nil? De jeu
think I would stin hcic one minute if
I had may way? I think
you're the rudest man I'e ecr met
in my life."
Mr. Andersen scrambled te his feet.
He ji;s very Hushed, or perhnps it was
the lire.
"Heed heavens!" he sold helplessly ,
"I was. only joking! Heed Lord! Well,
I'm He broke off, rubbing
his hair in distracted fashion.
I was holding the bread te the lire
an hew ! I was se angry I hardlj
knew what I was doing till I heaid a
smothered laugh.
"I snj, leek here! You'll never be
able te cat that. ou Knew."
I looked at the unfortunate piece of
bread ; I had Jubbed it against the het
bars of the fire, and it was smoking de de
plerablj and was as black as a cinder.
I threw it and the toasting-fork down
Inte the hearth, and rose with as much
dignitj us I could. .
"I don't want it," I said. "I "
Then I met his ejes, and for the life
of me I could net help laughing.
"Yeu are stupid," I said, stamping
my feet.
"Yeu ma j call me unj thing jeu
like If jeu forgive me.' lip said. He
held out his haiuf. "Well, am I for
given?-
"I don't knew why 1 was ciess,'
said hclplesslj . 'Tnless V I turned
away. "All mv lllc cvcr.v one has
found fault with everything I've evei
done or said," I went en dejectedly,
"uiid I did think that j'eu were going
te be the exception. "
He answered eager!.
"Se I nm! I was only joking. Iltie
let me make some meic teait for
veu. I'm a dabster at It, really."
He carved off another slice of bread
and went down en his knees by the
Ui' once meic.
I watched interestedly.
"Why did jeu come ever this morn
ing?" I asked.
"Te see jeu," said Andersen.
1 laughed incredulous).
"Whj , tm didn't expect I should be
up !"
"I hoped jeu would."
"Oh!"
There was 11 little silence.
"I 11N0 came te see about veur first
tiding lessuii," be went en. "The reads
nie bad, but If ou're net afiaid " '
"I'm net nfiuid, but I haven't get a
liiiis.'," I said.
"I've get several," he answered
calmlv Tlu-j'ie net up te much cer
tainly, but they'ie ulL light te learn
en."
"When can we go, then?" I asked
i-ugcrl.v
He turned his head and looked up at
ic, and something made me add bus
ily: "But I mustn't take up your time!
Whj sheu'd I? Don't ether people
w nt veu? nir aunt orjeur cousin,

"Mv (eiisln asked me te drive her
Inte Camber. That's our nearest mar
..it town, jeu knew but "
"Then, of ceuise, jeu must," I In
teuuptcd. "Of coutse jeu must! Atjy
lav wl'l de for me "
But I did net feel us maguuulmeus
as I sounded.
"Yeu mean that you order me te
go te Camber." he asked quietly, t-
"Ot couise," I Bald, but my heart
sank.
