In faitness she ought to have waited." "I grant you that," she said. "Wait a minute, though, Daphne was at- tached to her father, he died im- mediately after, and the shock of his death may have prejudiced her. At all events, Michael, it is useless to try and force things now. We must go slowly. I wrote after getting that first communication, but naturally 1 did not then mention you. In her second letter, where she gives me her address, she repeats her injunction about letting anyone else know. Now 1 understand Daphne, and 1 realise that to her this is a very serious thing.

He wanted to be set right in Daphne's estcem. She thought hard for a moment or two. "I'll tell you what you shall do, Michael, Write to Daphne.

Give her a time and place. . . .". - He threw back his head with a laugh, "In plain words, treat 'em rough," he remarked. Her eyes laughed. "Cave man stuff is better than bouquets on some occasions," she re- marked. "The wise man learns when to throw his bouquets. After all, you should be a wise lover. A man who can manage a big business should understand the psychélogy of women as well as men." . They were seated outside, Mrs. Gregory in her invalid chair, which was pushed about for her, and inside the house Michael Borde could hear the clatter of preparations for a meal. "I'd better be going," he said, but she reached out and laid her hand on his. "Stay and have tea with me," she said. "Ah, here comes the postman. When you become one of us and live here you'll understand how exciting a person the postman becomes, It may be only a catalogue he is bringing, but his visit makes almost an event in the day." - "At one time we only had one de- livery," she continued. "Now we get afternoon letters, and feel ourselves important at last." 1 It was a young man who strode briskly up the drive, leaving his bi- cycle at the gate, but he was not in uniform, .
