I saw the worst was over, and I breathed freely again. There was nothing for it but to go with him, and I wanted to most awfully. "It is just as well she is gone," said he, quietly. "It is better that our conversation should be private." "What, David, back again!" he said, ignoring the question asked by Sarby. "So you did not stay to dinner?".

This was easier said than done, as Maurice, simple and upright in conduct and character, was no match for the unscrupulous machinations of Dido. She hated the young man, and was determined that he should not marry her nursling. But whether she had, like Mrs. Dallas, a preference for David over Etwald, Maurice could not determine. The more he thought over affairs, the more incoherent and complicated did they become; so Alymer gave up the task in despair. Then it occurred to him that Mrs. Dallas had referred him to Major Jen; so to his guardian Maurice went the moment he arrived at the big house. But to his surprise, the major was not to be found. "I think we might let her share with us this time," she said gently, and Judith's relief was beautiful to behold. She broke off suddenly, smiling a wistful smile at the two others. Judith merely shrugged and went on with her breakfast, while Bruce and Elinor, who had been up unusually early and were already equipped, discussed Elinor's finished wall-decoration which stood at the far end of the studio, just visible from the breakfast table. Bruce was much elated over the progress of his pupil, and prophesied great things for Elinor in time. He even went so far as to promise that the stained glass window for which she had made a cartoon should be executed and put in the little Rockham church..
