The ghastly smile one had to keep onthe lips, the
inane jokes one had to make. His affairs were in apple-pie order,

He wouldhave to make himself agreable to Tom, Dick,
and Harry. There was no one else to care, except Winifred, alittle. Were they the
answer to all modern doubt?
Fleur had not been in since lunch; and they sat
downuneasily to wait for her. He unhooked the picture,and, carrying it under his
arm, went down-stairs.
From his present positionthe woman had passed
