She paused a moment. and Clov-
erlng unconsciously braced him-
selt. Her initial revelation had let:
the deeper and more personal part
of him stunned. and he was listen-
ing to her with a certain detach-
ment. So far she had revealed lit»
tie that Dinwlddie had not told him
already. and as he knew «that this
briei recapitulation of her earlier
life was not prompted by vanity.
he could only wonder if it. werel

cret volume at which Dinwlddie
had hinted more than once. i
As she continued silent. he got
suddenly to his feet. “I'll walk up
and down a bit, if you don't mind.‘
he muttered. “I'm rather-4h—
getting rather cramped."
“Do.” she said lndiiferently.
“Please go on. i am deeply in-'
terested."
She continued in a particularly‘
ly up and down: "Of course the;
time came when ugly memories

itself and i wanted love. And when 3

just recall Jane Oglethorpe, Mrs.‘
Vane. Mrs. Ruyler. and you will be
able to reconstruct the atmosphere
—-several of the women i had
known as a girl had lovers, it seem- ',
ed to me that American women
came to Europe ior no other pur-‘
pose, and i was now living at the
fountain-head of polite license. Not
that i made any apologies to my-
self. i should have taken a lover
if i had wanted one had virtue
been the fashion. And the contract
with my husband had been disf
solved by mutual consent. The
only thing that rebelled was my
pride. i hated stepping down from
my pedestal." ‘
Claverlug gave a short barking
laugh. "Your arrogance is the
most magnificent thing about you."
and that is saying more than l‘
could otherwise express. l‘ll for?
tlfy myself before you proceed fur
ther. if you will permit." He pour-4
ed himself out a drink, and return-
ed to his chair with the glass in his
hand. "Pray go on."
She had‘uot turned her head and
continued to look into the fire. She
might have been posing to a sculp
tor for a 'bust that would hardly
look more like marble when tin;

“l soon discovered that i had not
found happiness. Men want. They
rarely love. i realised that I had
demanded in love for more than
passion, and I received nothing
else. ' .

many lovers I have had. It is nails

"Ah!” Clarering. staring at hen?

thing but her living presence: for
gotten also that he had once appre
bended 'aomething of the sort. then
dismissed it from his mind. He
split the whiskey over the arm at
the chair. then sprang to his feel
and began to pace the room once
more.
She went on calmly: “Disap
pointment does not mean the our

little that i wanted. They were
clever and sdroit enough in. the
