Remember, thinking to stretch her legs on the station platform, joined the passengers who choked the straight corridor along the row of compartments. One of the doors opened and framed a tall and power- ful young man with a peculiarly wist- ful face.

There was a kind of pathos in them, but also a great brightness, which, like the sun, he poured upon million alike. But Mem did not know' this.
