II volved in forcing the Siowitha club matter. Gerald‘s decreasing attention to busi. ness and increasing intimacy with the Fane-Rnthven coterie began to make Seiwyn very uncomfortable. The boy's close relations with Neergard worried him most of all and. though Neergard finally agreed to drop the Siowitha matter as a fixed policy‘ln which Sel- wyn had been expected to participate at some indefinite date. the arrange- ment seemed only to cement the man’s confidential companionship with Ger- lid. hlrn a little the boy turned sullen. and Belwyn let the matter drop very quick to serve now. Gerald. more and more engrossed in occult social aflairs of whlch he made no mentlon to Selwyn. was still amiable and friendly. even at times cordial and lovable. but he was no longer frank or even communica- tive. and selwyn. fearing to arouse him again to sullennees or perhaps even to sneplcloua defiance. forbore to put: him bound \the quatqtentam advances m the. mining ‘qf hgs -'('0l‘l'll'lllly. “nor will Gerald.” "0h. yearyou will. and play your 'wst too, And I’ll expect 'him next ‘ime.“. . “I shall not play!"
