Mrs. Wethering opened the door to Bob and her voice was decidedly cold when she said she would see it Miss Nellin would receive him,

"Can't you guess?" he said short-

"Oh, no, no, tell me!"

"Brent has been deceiving you, You and Era hoth." Bob replied, cruelly abrupt, but too miserable even to want to find a way to soft- on the blow,

Bob was aware of her disapproval but it did not worry him.

Although she was ready to go down she stayed a while in her room to regain her composure. Whatever could it mean, this carly visit from Bob?

Her reflection, as she putted a bit of rouge onto her pale cheeks, gave her no answer.

Could it concern Eva? She'd been troubled ever since she awoke and found Eva gone. Had she, she wondered, done anything to offend her?

"Yes, I'm quite sure," he said more gently than he had yet spoken to her.

Helen's voice broke a trifle over her next question..

"Was he engaged to her too?" she asked.

"I suppose so," Bob abmitted. "I haven't questioned her."

It was with more than a little trepidation that she went down at last to find Bob waiting for her inter the lower hall.
