The uavity, the calm of years fell from nun, and bis voice deepened Into a ort of cold and quiet fury as he said : "One moment, Mr. Carter.

He had shot the phrases at her with - mi distinctness almost violent Now The curtains at the French windows In the library at Crownlands stirred In the breeze of the warm summer night the pendulum of the big clock behind Richard Carter moved to and fro, but for a long time there was no other sound In the library. Richard had dropped his eyes, was Idly staring at the blank sheet of paper before him. Royal Blondln, who had folded his arms, for a moment studied Hard riet between lids, but presently his eyes fell, too, and with a rather troubled expression he studied the pattern of the great oriental rug. Harriet stood motionless, turned to stone. If there was anything to be said in her behalf, she could not say It now. For the first time the full measure of her responsibility and the full measure of her deceit smote her, and In utter sickness of spirit she could advance no excuse. It was not that she had failed Blondln, or that she had failed Richard, but the extent of her failure toward herself appalled her. She was not the good, brave, cultivated woman she had liked to think herself ; she was one more egotist with Nina, and Isabelle, and Ida, unscrupulously playing her own game for her own ends. "I'm extremely sorry," Richard said, presently, In a somewhat lifeless tone, "I Imagine that If my daughter had known this, she might have been spared some suffering and some huBut we needn't consider miliation.

He put up a fine hand and adjusted his eyeglasses with a little Impatient muscular twitching of his whole face that Harriet knew to be characteristic of his worried moods.
