on fire. She forgot that she had been

stifle her, and scarcely knowing what
she did Rosebud hurried down
through the fragrant garden, past
the ferneries, the archery ground and
the fountain, out into the street.

Without the least compunction she
gresped a long silken scarf that lay
acroes the table, and deftly and
