For some momente she lay silent, conscious only that she loved him and that she was safe in the haven of his arms. Unchidden he kissed her hair, her eyes, her lips. For that minute al else was forgotten; she yiskled herself to the sweet thrill of his embrace-whatever the future might bring forth that moment at least was theirs.

But with the remembrance of her kisses on his lips Austin found waiting was the hardest task he had ever had. Agathe, too, keenly felt the absence of her friend, she missed her bright companionship and ready sympathy, and she worried herself both on Reta's behalf and on her brother's. She saw, but little of Austic and was conscious of fooling rather lonely. Agatha was sitting thinking in the glosming when George Lascelles walked in unannounced.
