CHAPTER PWENTY-ONE

July brought us two visitors, Maudie
accepted my inyitation for two week
of her holiday, and’ when she went
back to the city Teddy came out. The
Mowbrays had company too, a niece of
Mrs. Mowbray’s, Lilah Armstrong by
name.

I was coward enough to ha
misgivings regarding
Our friendship, old and precious a
is, was not based on communit of
tastes so much as on propinguity, and

_I wondered if she would fail to recog-
nize what was good in our simple life
and would see only the unavoidable
cerudities and inconveniences. ‘Then,
too, she and Murray scarcely knew
each other. She had been just a lit-
tle bit jealous of him and he, after he
came home, had been in no condition
to overcome anyone's prejudices. Per-
haps, too, Murray rather lacking
in appreciation) of Maudie’s good
points, for generous, loyal soul that
she is, Maudie is somewhat limited in
certain respects, and one needs to
know her as I do to esfimate her at
her full worth.

As has so often happened, my fears
were wasted. Maudie was so glad to
see me, so enthusi cover Herring-
ton’s Hope, and so absolutely slavish
in her devotion to the twins, that one
admitted that she had improved—nev-
er, of course, that he had been mistak-
en!

The Jones’ have always had a very
nice home, somewhat lacking in books
and pictures but with the latest thing
in furniture and electrical appliances,
but Maudie “loyed” my four-roemed
cottage and neyer once seemed to mis
the things to which she had aha
been accustomed.

And such talks as we had—all day
long and far into the night. Maudie
was not a brilliant correspondent and

‘He would,” I agreed, “they always
do.” /And I tried to picture Leslie Or-
mond of his college days the beloleas
cripple that Maudie described,

Nothing occurred to spoil Maudie's
visit. The weather was hot, but
clear and dry, and all the little outings
I had planned were accomplished with-
out a disappointing incident. Maudie
was a perfect country visitor, she nev-
er worried about sunburn or tan or
clothes, and she enjoyed everything
from our strawberry picnic to an ex-
ceedingly informal tennis tournament
that we got up on the spur of the mo-
ment one Saturday afternoon. And
she made friends with all the h-
bors in a way that amazed me—‘You
do not know Miss Jones, the Real Hs-
tate may,’ ” she explained when I spoke

of her new-found ability to Ss Bal

thought of marriage, her possessive

time for her holidays because Mrs. Or-
mond was to, be with her son, made it
clear enough to me that she had as-
sumed certain r and responsibili-
ties. What th might be between
her and Leslie I could not guess, but
if they lad been an old married couple
like Murray and me she could not
have spoken so very differently.
