The cohesive power of caste is an unknown element to the outsider. That he had unwittingly and prema- turely aroused some unsuspected force on which he had not counted and of which he had no definite knowledge was revealed to Neergard when he de- sired Rosamund to obtain for him an invitation to the Orchils’ ball. It appeared that she could not do so â€"that even the threatened tendency of Block Copper could not sharpen her wits to devise a way for him.

Therefore it puzzled and confused Neergard to be overlooked where the gay world had been summoned with an accompanying blast from the pub- lic press; therefore he had gone 1'» Rosamund with the curtest of hints that he would like to have a card to the: Orchil aflair. ».LL’ A“ by n.- V._,‘,, untotasnarl.
