And thus they danced and danced,

mere atoms in an eyer-moving scum,
breast to breast. The generous band
gave few pauses. Then, suddenly,
there was a clash of cymbals, the
dimming of lights, and a mass move-

"I . want you both, if you don't

They followed him with the 'great-

cold.' The expression on Farquhar's

shoulders had, brought an .`instant

Farquhar. "She's in a partnership.

Helen straightened and narrowed
her beautiful eyes. Her fighting spirit
was roused'. It seemed to her to be
a cruel and peculiar thing that the
only person in the world who had
ever stood up against her was the
girl upon' whom she had lavished
whatever love -she could' spare.

PART V
It Was Lady Warminster's turn to
feel like a bird of ill omen. This
was her husband's 'role in life. She
Preferred the part for which she had
been boric -the placid barnyard hen.
She was waiting with Lord Warinin:

arrival of her brother and -his wife.
"They" had pelted -her with wireless
messages on their way across the At-
lantic and the last of these had beg-
ged•her to be good enough to see
that their hotse' was in order and to
meet them ' there with Jean.' Lady

To Farquhar the production of this
domestic red • herring was the epi-
tome of irony. He had not driven
that great finer all across, to him,
the loneliest of the seas. to listen to
wrangles about other people's. girls.
Angry and terrified he had dashed
ever to put a stop to the anarchy of
his own daughter and haul her out
"1 ,rn association the mere mehtio•i
of which among the gossipmongers
would mean disgrace, to the family
-name.
The presence of two perfectly drill-
ed footmen with all the appurtenanc-
es of an, English tea held up further
words. Lady Warminster settled.
Warminster,; who loved crumpets with
an almost perverted passion, stood
ready to pounce. 'Farquhar, on edge
with impatience, marched up and
when a more than usually horrible down the room in which all his tree -
prognostication comes true by acct- sures mocked him. And Helen, tired,
spent and nervous, proceeded to make
up her .face. She would have done
this on 'her way to the scaffold as
we!'1"'as"to "a throne. Joy and sorrow,
excitement and depression, Were 'all

• "Oh, Harry, don't go on like that!"
"For the leve of God," cried Farqu-
har, "concentrate on us. I beg your
pardon; but under the circumstances
I think that -you might answer my
questions and- let me know the facts.

"Oh: God•!" • He was a dear old boy,
all the same. Appalling to- live with,

heart was exactly in the right place.
He was 'generous, kind and easily

"My God, are they engaged? Has
it gone, as far -as that?",
."Oh yes, indeed'," said Lady War-
minster. "It's ' ail quite ,proper, you
kriovv: 'You see the poor boy's' a gen:

Once more Farquhar :turned to his
wife. and caught her stultified gaze.,
"Go on from there," he said.
"Ia there any more to tell?"
"Isn't theme? I mean, - why have
they gone to Paris? Why didn't Jean
stay to meet us? Why didn't this nice
boy, 'whom you admire so much and
who's such a little gentleman;-• stay
over and come to see me, and say,
'You have the 'honour- to meet your

"Well, you see, Mr. Lorbenstein
had' several engagements in Paris,
and of course he had to go; It seem-
ed perfectly natural for Jean to go
with him, although I argued the point
with her: "She's staying with the
Duchesse de Bercy. Max has a house
in. Paris - an amazing place, they
say." . ..
"Did she go alone' with him?"
"Oh yes, quite alone." Lady War-

smile aria added: "They do these
things today."
And. after -a lengthy silence, during
which Farquhar paced about, he went
to his :wife -and put his hand' on her
shoulder, and said: "Tell me, can you
be ready to catch the Continental
train in the morning or shall I do
