¡¡¡¡`I've been so scared and worried, I don't want to have anything to do with lovers for a long while - perhaps never,' answered Meg, petulantly. `If John doesn't know anything about this nonsense, don't tell him, and make Jo and Laurie hold their tongues. I won't be deceived and plagued and made a fool of - it's a shame!' ¡¡¡¡Seeing that Meg's usually gentle temper was roused, and her pride hurt by this mischievous joke, Mrs. March soothed her by promises

of entire silence, and great discretion for the future. ¡¡¡¡The instant Laurie's step was heard in the hall, Meg fled into the study, and Mrs. March received the culprit alone. Jo had not told him why he was wanted, fearing he wouldn't come; but he knew the minute he saw Mrs. March's face, and stood twirling his hat, with a guilty air which convicted him at once. Jo was dismissed, but chose to march up and down the hall like a sentinel, having some fear that the prisoner might bolt. The sound of voices in the parlour rose and fell for half an hour; but what happened during that interview the girls never knew.

Most comfortable carriage.-- Oh! and I am sure our thanks are due to you

Sarah thought: "She's letting them go free this afternoon.She knows Raymondwants to be with me.Why?Is it a trap?" After lunch,when she had gone to her tent and had changed into a fresh linendress,the thought still worried her.Since last night her feeling towards Raymondhad swelled into a passion of protective tenderness.This,then,was love -thisagony on another's behalf -this desire to avert,at all costs,pain from thebeloved...Yes,she loved Raymond Boynton.It was St George and the Dragonreversed.

It was shc who was the rescuer and Raymond who was the chained victim. And Mrs Boynton was the Dragon.A dragon whose sudden amiability was,toSarah's suspicious mind,definitely sinister. It was about a quarter-past three when Sarah strolled down to the marquee. Lady Westholme was sitting on a chair.Despite the heat of the day she wasstill wearing her serviceable Harris tweed skirt.On her lap was the report of aRoyal Commission.Dr Gerard was talking to Miss Pierce,who was standing by hertent holding a book entitled The Love Quest and described on its wrapper as athrilling tale of passion and misunderstanding.

Apart from ourselves, and our unhappy peculiarities, it is foreign to a man's nature to go on loving a person when he is told that he must and shall be that person's lover. There would be a much likelier chance of his doing it if he were told not to love. If the marriage ceremony consisted in an oath and signed contract between the parties to cease loving from that day forward, in consideration of personal possession being given, and to avoid each other's society as much as possible in public, there would be more loving couples than there are now. Fancy the secret meetings between the perjuring husband and wife, the denials
oil paintingadmitting this, or something like it, to be true, you are not the only one in the world to see it, dear little Sue. People go on marrying because they can't resist natural forces, although many of them may know perfectly well that they are possibly buying a month's pleasure with a life's discomfort. No doubt my father and mother, and your father and mother, saw it, if they at all resembled us in habits of observation. But then they went and married just the same, because they had ordinary passions. But you, Sue, are such a phantasmal, bodiless creature, one who-- if you'll allow me to say it--has so little animal passion in you, that you can act upon reason in the matter, when we poor unfortunate wretches of grosser substance can't."
