Nancy's knees shook se violently that
tti had te sit down. She was stunned
by Jenny's frank summary of her
preepeeU. It was as if she had climbed
a THt flight of stairs, only te find a
bottomless pit between her and the
ttcend half of the journey. She knew
that Jenny loved her, and that Jenny
was never known te lie. Jenny had
had the habit of speaking tha truth
boldly, even hurtfully; friends and
strangers, it did net matter, her lash
wept about impartially and Imperson
ally. "Oh. Jenny, why didn't you leave

Jenny had Indeed awakened her. To

would be with her. Hew could alu

The law firm of Snell A. l'rlde was

Thousands of yellow Inw books bunt
the khelves; they were stacked in tor ter

Mingling with that of hides was the
ngue odor of thi finished product.
Ewrj thing was old the books, the
desks, the clerks. It was almost British
in Its muvtine-s, its dlnglnefn. The

of tampered wills and litigation ever

Theie were three private offices, the
windows of which offered the pleasing
piespect of an alley into which the
sun was never able te suueee. There
were no names en the roughened glass
of the doers. This gave the emipauts
a certain protection against unwell eme
visitors.
Bancroft had never been te the offices
