fifty. He had verygood manners, and the presence of a Junior Minister. He could, at any moment, be allthings to all people. He could talk racing shop, cricket, foreign politics, tell anecdotesof Royalty, give Motor Show information, knew the most interesting plays on at present –advise on places Americans ought really to see in England however shorttheir stay. He had knowledgeable information about where it would suit persons of allincomes and tastes to dine. With all this, he did not make himself too cheap. He was noton tap all the time. Miss Gorringe had all the same facts at her fingertips and couldretail them efficiently. At brief intervals Mr. Humfries, like the sun, made hisappearance above the horizon and flattered someone by his personal attention.
　　This time it was Colonel Luscombe who was sohonoured. They exchanged a few racing platitudes, but Colonel Luscombe was absorbed by hisproblem. And here was the man who could give him the answer.

　　"Tell me, Humfries, how do all these old dearsmanage to come and stay here?"
　　"On you've beenwondering about that?" Mr. Humfries seemed amused. "Well, the answer's simple. They couldn't afford it. unless –”
　　He paused.
　　"Unless you make special prices for them? is thatit?"
　　"More or less. They don't know, usually, that they are special prices, or if they do realise it, theythink it's because they're oldcustomers."

¡¡¡¡'Time will go fast with you, Mr. Jack Maldon,' pursued the Doctor, 'and fast with all of us. Some of us can hardly expect, perhaps, in the natural course of things, to greet you on your return. The next best thing is to hope to do it, and that's my case. I shall not weary you with good advice. You have long had a good model before you, in your cousin Annie. Imitate her virtues as nearly as you can.' ¡¡¡¡Mrs. Markleham fanned herself, and shook her head. ¡¡¡¡'Farewell, Mr. Jack,' said the Doctor, standing up; on which we all stood up. 'A prosperous voyage out, a thriving career abroad, and a happy return home!' ¡¡¡¡We all drank the toast, and all shook hands with Mr. Jack Maldon; after which he hastily took leave of the ladies who were there, and hurried

to the door, where he was received, as he got into the chaise, with a tremendous broadside of cheers discharged by our boys, who had assembled on the lawn for the purpose. Running in among them to swell the ranks, I was very near the chaise when it rolled away; and I had a lively impression made upon me, in the midst of the noise and dust, of having seen Mr. Jack Maldon rattle past with an agitated face, and something cherry-coloured in his hand. ¡¡¡¡After another broadside for the Doctor, and another for the Doctor's wife, the boys dispersed, and I went back into the house, where I found the guests all standing in a group about the Doctor, discussing how Mr. Jack Maldon had gone away, and how he had borne it, and how he had felt it, and all the rest of it. In the midst of these remarks, Mrs. Markleham cried: 'Where's Annie?'

Dinner was duly served and appreciated. Lucy finished washing up and came out into the hall to find Harold Crackenthorpe waiting for her.
"Yes, Mr. Crackenthorpe?"
"Shall we come in here?" He opened the door of the drawing-room and led the way. He shut the door behind her.
"I shall be leaving early in the morning," he explained, "but I want to tell you how struck I have been by your ability."
"Thank you," said Lucy, feeling a little surprised.
"I feel that your talents are wasted here – definitely wasted."
"Do you? I don't."

At any rate, he can't ask me to marry him, thought Lucy. He's got a wife already.
"I suggest that having very kindly seen us through this lamentable crisis, you call upon me in London. If you will ring up and make an appointment, I will leave instructions with my secretary. The truth is that we could use someone of your outstanding ability in the firm. We could discuss fully in what field your talents would be most ably employed. I can offer you, Miss Eyelesbarrow, a very good salary indeed, with brilliant prospects. I think you will be agreeably surprised."

"How fast I have become!" he was thinking. ¡¡¡¡ Thus they walked till they reached the foot of the upland, where they could see the white highway ascending before them in the gloom. From this point the only way of getting to Arabella's was by going up the incline, and dipping again into her valley on the right. Before they had climbed far they were nearly run into by two men who had been walking on the grass unseen. ¡¡¡¡ "These lovers--you find 'em out o' doors in all seasons and weathers-- lovers and homeless dogs only," said one of the men as they vanished down the hill. ¡¡¡¡ Arabella tittered lightly. ¡¡¡¡ "Are we lovers?" asked Jude. ¡¡¡¡ "You know best." ¡¡¡¡ "But you can tell me?" ¡¡¡¡ For answer she inclined her head upon his shoulder. Jude took the hint, and encircling her waist with his arm, pulled her to him and kissed her. ¡¡¡¡ They walked now no longer arm in arm but, as she had desired,

They reached the top, and he kissed her once more. ¡¡¡¡ "You can keep your arm there, if you would like to," she said gently. ¡¡¡¡ He did so, thinking how trusting she was. ¡¡¡¡ Thus they slowly went towards her home. He had left his cottage at half-past three, intending to be sitting down again to the New Testament by half-past five. It was nine o'clock when, with another embrace, he stood to deliver her up at her father's door. ¡¡¡¡ She asked him to come in, if only for a minute, as it would seem so odd otherwise, and

¡¡¡¡"Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes." ¡¡¡¡"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party." ¡¡¡¡"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be any thing extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty." ¡¡¡¡"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of." ¡¡¡¡"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood." ¡¡¡¡"It is more than I engage for, I assure you." ¡¡¡¡"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not." ¡¡¡¡"You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying which ever he chuses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy." ¡¡¡¡"I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference." ¡¡¡¡"They have none of them much to recommend them," replied he; "they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters." ¡¡¡¡"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves."

¡¡¡¡`Not much, sir.' ¡¡¡¡`And you don't think me as handsome as your grandfather?' ¡¡¡¡`Not quite, sir.' ¡¡¡¡`And I've got a tremendous will, have I?' ¡¡¡¡`I only said I thought so.' ¡¡¡¡`But you like me, in spite of it?' ¡¡¡¡`Yes, I do, sir.' ¡¡¡¡That answer pleased the old gentleman; he gave a short laugh, shook hands with her, and, putting his fingers under her chin, turned up her face, examined it gravely, and let it go, saying, with a nod, `You've got your grandfather's spirit, if you haven't his face. He was a fine man, my dear; but, what is better, he was a brave and honest one, and I was proud to be his friend.' `Thank you, sir'; and Jo was quite comfortable after that, for it suited her exactly. ¡¡¡¡`What have you been doing to this boy of mine, hey?' was the next question, sharply put. ¡¡¡¡`Only trying to be neighbourly, sir'; and Jo told how her visit came about. ¡¡¡¡`You think he needs cheering up a bit, do you?' ¡¡¡¡`Yes, sir; he seems a little lonely, and young folks would do him good, perhaps. We are only girls, but we should be glad to help if we could, for we don't forget the splendid Christmas present you sent us,' said Jo, eagerly.
