CHAPTER I What, no breakfast-nook- CO, Kate sudden quick beating of her heart had quieted a little. The clearing mist of abstraction vanished. Though her attention was fixed upon the difficult business of striking a match, she still saw very clearly the boots upon the hearth. Good!" Kate said from the darkness near the door. Better luck than we deserve. Gay tipped the chimney, applied the flame of the match to the wick. They were high boots with lacings, the sort that woodsmen wore, and the mud that caked them was fresh. It had been raining all day. The lane had been soft with mud.

The weather was beautiful in September. I wasnt here this late in the month, though. That was the fall Mother put me in school in Switzerland while she was in Paris. It was lovely here when I left.

Do about it? she asked. I just wondered. Kate rocked back and forth from her heels to her e toes on the hearth. She was observing, irrelevantly, the unconscious air of assurance with which Gay carried herself, thinking how trim she looked, in spite of two days and a night on the road, in the dark tailored suit which emphasized the grace of her long slender legs, the breadth of her shoulders, the rounded slenderness of her body. Ah, youth: She, herself, probably looked like a scare-croa particularly attenuated and angular one. Not that it mattered.
