I'm glad it looks so from the outside, breathed Charlotte, softly. She too had watched the departing pair; waving her hand as her husband, under the electric light at the entrance, had turned to lift his hat and signal farewell. She still stood by the window, through which the soft air of the May night touched her warm cheek and stirred the lace about her white shoulders.

He's just mixing things up on purpose. It's a charity case for mine--but none the less honour, on that account. I have a chance to try out a certain new method, adapted from one I saw used for the first time abroad. If it doesn't work I'll--drop several pegs in my own estimation, and in self-confidence.

How they can do it! observed Charlotte, as the car went on.
