CHAPTER IX. ,Oonstantea was busy wiLle her al- ternooa tea -table. Not that it was afternoon yet. It was indeed quite early, 'barely eleven o'clock. But Conetantia, nevertheless, was in a very agony of bustle, this being the first time she had ever entertained anybody within the walls of the go tit age. And it was not to be the ortho- dox, meager tea either, where a cup is handed round to one with a eneir- sel of cake or a bit of bread-and- butter, but a real, honest,hand- somo affair, with a snowy cloth, and hot .calces and cold cakes, and jam, and honey, and delicate little tart lets that Mulcahy was an adept at making when safe from the thimble- ful.

'`Nonsense ! Donna says he is only thirty-five," exclaimed Norah, who was a rabid partisan, of Stronge's.
