CHAPTER XIII
Dv and by I fertted nraatl fa n tuixV
The young fellowwhe. had come with
Richard had already had tee much te
drink: he paid tee absurd compliments.
I looked at Rifchard apfleallngly. but he
only laughed, as if ht enjoyed the. Jeke.
Father and Mr. Furnlval were used te
u tney let oetn men aay 'what they
Presently. I was left alone with them
for a few mementa. Mr. Belden was
half aaleep in an armchair Richard
and I steed facing one another in the
silent room,
Suddenly he took step forward.
"MarJdriel"
"Det-don't!" I said hoarsely.
I felt broken' and ashamed; this man
for whemI had wished te appear at
my very beat had walked right into the
heart and aeu of my tragedy.
I was in love wltl him, ybu will say.
Well, of course I waa I I-thlnk I had
been In love with him ever aince I waa
twelve yean old.
After Richard, and his friend had
ge'tae that night, both Furnlval and my
father were fn a bad temper.
Ja'd irritably. "I don't altogether trust
that fellow. Where did you pick him
. met Richard the net day.
e told me hew he found out about
me and the life I was living.
It appears that Belden lad known
Furnlval for ; a long time, and heard all
about my father's house.
t,-r",val .nd Pwnjjwd te take him
there one night, and Belden, who could
never keep his own counsel, told Rich
ard, and inadvertently mentioned that
there was n daughter, a "dashed .pretty
girl named Marjerie" theso were- his
words.
Richard said he seemed te guess
straight away that it must be mc?
I rememb&ed your refusal te tell
me your address," he said, "and se I
guessed the truth for myself." And
then we sat silent for a long time.
Thcre was a long silence this time,
and somehow I felt as If the summer
day were momentarily standing still,
waiting for. something for what?
I hardly knew or was I afrnld te
knew 7 But I was conscious of my
racing heartbeats.
Then Richard said and his voice
was net qulte steady:
"You're such a kid. If only I were
five years elder" He breke off
Jaggedly, and the sllence fell again.
UCb a kid 1 I atllinn T nra In
a matter of years, but at heart at
heart I waa a woman, as I sat beside
nW nnd waited achingly for the words
which I knew then he would net speak.
He went en stumbllngly again after

ind arranged for each of us from our
cradle: but a girl of eighteen is net a
?a alist, and my only fecfngs that lovely
afternoon were a mixture of rage and
eain because I thought I had let Rich
ard see that I expected him te aak me
te marry him, and he had net done e.
This was only our second meeting
after a lapse of seven years, and yet
In my heart X knew that this was the
man I should flltva.a inc.. l,.i. .i j
else could ever be te me what fie could.
, V7?cre. wa ,,,tUe s,len a'ter my
dellbernte lie : then he rose stiffly te his
" eeemeq te nave changed in
some imperceptible manner, and I was
suddenly afraid as 1 joeaeu up at him,
my eyes were smarting with the tears
I was tee proud te let fall.
Ife took out his watch anil in,.nH
at it, but I doubt if he really noticed
uui ume it was,
"I think we ought te be going home,"
be said.
I get up quickly.
"I was going te say the same thing."
We hardly spoke en the way home;
my heart was tern with conflicting
emotions; what should I de?
Should I tell him that It was a lie
about Fufnivnl? Or should I let him
go en believing it?
I turned the question ever in my
mind, but could come te no decision.
1 remember that he knew what sort
of home I had come from that he
could only feel contempt for the tool
my father made of me 1 lie was 6erry
ter me, and I did net want his pity.
His firm mouth was set, his eyes stared
btrnlght ahead, of him as if I no longer
walked by his side. Something in Lin
attitude reminded me of that day years
age when he had turned his back en
mc as I sat weeping by the stream and
walked off through the meadow grass.
He had snubbed ma when I was
twolve; he would de it again if I
gave him the chance. Se I reasoned in
my blind pain; and yet something
seemed te whisper that if I let him go,
lie would walk net only down the read,
but out of my lite forever;
I moistened my dry lips: in another
moment I should have spoken, but he
said suddenly:
"I think this is your bus; it will
take you right te the corner of the read ;
I will say geed-by."
He had hailed the driver and taken
my hand in farewell before I hud time
te speak; for a moment I clung te bla
fingers.
''When shall I sce you again?" I,
asked.
He glanced at me, and away.
"I don't knew; we are sure te run
up against each ether somewhere. I
am leaving Londen tomorrow I meant
te have told you. Yeu will miss the
bus If you are net quick."
The conductor was already shouting
te me te hurry up. Richard drew me
toward the step; In another moment I
was seated, the bus was rumbling away
through the sunshlne, and Richard wqj
btrldtng off down the street.
He never once looked bnck he had
net. enre looked back that day when he
