The landlady showed Clement and his mother upstairs with grudging civility, and left them on the landing with an apologetic gesture towards a half-open door.

four!" Clement knocked softly-there was no answer, so he opened the door wider for his mother to
enter.
"We will wait, of course he said in his pleasant measured tones fancy we are before our time."
But a clock striking the quarter outside pro- claimed them a little after it. Mrs. Hearne's prosperous suburban. propriety had already been a little ruffled by the cockney accent and undeferential carelessness of the landlady; she shut her lips tightly as she entered and looked around the room,
"How shockingly untidy," she said. The room certainly was very untidy-scatter ed and torn papers iny around the high-backed chintz-covered chair at the writing table, books and newspapers had been flung down at randon on other chairs, a bat, coat, and gloves, with one or two paper parcels, disfigured the sofa. The fire was half out, and the hearth littered with cinders-worst of all, a meagre luncheon array remained on the table, a cat had pulled a chop bone down from the plate, and left it on the carpet, as it ran out at the door, spitting defiance at the visitors.
Clement's glance fallowed his mother's round the room. It is untidy," he said, "I have never seen it so before. She has always had it in perfect order when I have called upon her." Perhaps he, too, would have found the disorder shocking, if his mother had not, but in protest against her tone, something in him called the disorder pathetic. He felt flaitered that the girl should have taken so much trouble on his ne count as, it seemed to him, must have been needed to regularly prepare her room for his visita, and yet rebuked that she had not cared to take him in her confidence in this small
matter.
"There's not a chair to sit down upon," said his mother.
"Sit here," Clement said-lifting the parcels and noticing the lettering on the covers, "Stott, Confectioner," "she remembered to get us some cakes for tea, however."
"And carried her own parcels home like a shopgirl," said his mother,
Clement had a healthy fondness for cakes- he and his betrothed had always eaten a great many when he came to tea; had she always snatched a frantic five minutes to rush out and buy them between her work and his visits? Had the room always been as squalid as this ten minutes before he arrived-and found her prettily dressed and light-hearted-so delicately a lady-so well read-se refined.
The many tom sheets of manuscript that were scattered on the floor, showed how hard she had been working that morning. He wondered if she had ever had to work extra hard to make up for those pleasant hours spent with him.
"And her lunch not cleared away at a quar ter past four," Mrs. Hearne said.
Her dinner-probably," conected Clement. "Stale bread, ginger beer, a very meagre chop, and no table-cloth. But I assure you mother, if she had been here, our tea would have been served most elegantly have no doubt that there are some very nice cakes in that parcel." He stood a moment musing over the con trast, and then moved suddenly between his mother and the fireplace?
Does she always leave her slippers on the hearthrug."
"I wondered if you would notice that," he said with a pleasant laugh, "I was trying to hide them, because I knew you would be so shocked. No, I have never seen her shoes so distinctly before." He stopped-and-picked one up, handling it with certain respect, "See, mother, isn't it hard that a girl who can wear Buch small shock should have to wear such *shabby ones."
"You never told me she was 30-50-U- comfortably poor."
Mrs. Hearne was the widow of a wealthy merchant, and had all the bourgeois contempt for poverty..
I never knew, I never knew-that is, I knew, but did not realise. Of course, I knew. she was a journalist, and had to work-but she has always kept all this from me."
He gave another pained glance at the dis comfort of the room, and his tone was that of keen self-reproach.
"I should call that hypocrisy," Mrs. Hearne said coldly,
.
He considered a moment, and felt his mother's charge unjust...
"Why not courage?" he said. Mrs. Hearne was not altogether hard, or unsympathetic, but this untidy journalist girl had known that her lover's mother was coming to call upon her; if she had not been as much Impressed by the honour that was to be done her as Mrs. Hearne had expected she had a fair grievance.
"I do not want to be hard on the girl of your, choice, Clement. I came here, as you know, with the kindest of Intentions towards her. Though I considered you were most unwise in your choice, I was prepared to receive Miss Trent as my daughter-in-law. But it is exceed- ingly rude of her not to be here to receive me,”
she said.
Exceedingly rude-worse than rule-in- hospitable so I am quite sure she has not done it on purpose. There must have been some accident. She has been detained against bet will. She will be very much more worried than you are by the mishap. Don't be cross, mother. I'm sure Nan is not to blame. Take off your gloves, and set your bonnet straight I'm sure she'll be here in a minute,"
"You speak as if you admired her for it.. should have thought you would have been sorry to find yourself engaged to so pussée a wogan,"
"Parse--is that what you call it ?" "Don't you?"
