URIOSITV is not usually one of

I could ce her before her writing

Presently Lillian straightened her
self with a jerk, and fell to writing
tajiidly upon a sheet of imaiuiscript
paper. I lien she rr.nl over what nhe

She read it slowly, then handed me
the paper on whnh she'd written it.
"Had to read it aloud fust," she
said with a wry gnu. "It's a little
preliminary always neiess.iry with try

I smiled back at In r lovingly as I
took the paper. In truth, I was glad
of the momentary respite from an ex
preisio:i of opinion concerning it l-or
there was one part that jarrid upon

I'd read it through. "Unly is it nec
