CHAPTER X.
The Week of Their Llvec.
"Toye'a gone bacli to Italy." said
Oazalet. "He sayB he may be away
only a week. Let's make it the week
of our lives!"
The scene was the little room It
pleased Blanche to call her parlor,
and the time a preposterously early
hour of the following forenoon. Caza-
let in hfr sunny snuggery rather sug-
gested another extravagant taxicab.
But Blanche saw only his worn, ex-
cited face; and her own was not at
Its best in her sheer amazement
"Italy!" she ejaculated, "When did
he go?"
"Nine o'clock last night"
"Blit"—she checked herself—"1 sim-
ply can't understand It. that's ail!"
"Why? Have you seen him since
the other afternoon?"
His manner might have explained
those other two remarks, now bother-
ing her when It was too late to notice I
them; on the otfcor hand, she was by ;
no means sure that it did. He might '
•imply dislike Toye, and that again f
might explain his extraordinary heat
over the argument at Littleford
Blanche began to feel the air some-
what heavily charged with explana-
tions. either demanded or desired;
they were things she hated, and she
determined not 'o add to them if she
could help it.
"I haven't set eyes on him again."
sho said. "But he's been seen here
in a taxi."
"Who saw him?"
"Martha—if she's not mistaken."
This was a little disingenuous, as
will appear; but that impetuous Sweep
was In a merciful hurry to know some-
thing else.
"When was this, Blanche?"
"Just about dark—say seven or so.
She owns it was about dark," said
Blanche, though she felt ashamed of
herself.
"Well, lt'  Just possible. He left me
about six; said he had to see someone,
too, now 1 think of it. But I'd give a
bit to know what he was doing mess-
ing about down here at the last mo-
ment! "
Blanche liked this as little as any-
thing that Cazalet had said yet. and he
had said nothing that she did like this
morning. But there were allowances
to be made for him, she knew. And
yet to strengthen her knowledge, or
rather to let him confirm it for her,
either by word or by his silence, she
stated a certain case for him aloud.
"Poor old Sweep!" she laughed.
"It's a shame that you should have
come home to be worried like, this."
"I am worried," he said simply
"I think it's Just splendid, all you're
doing for that poor man, 'jut especially
the way you're doing It."
"1 wish to God you wouldn't say
that. Blanche!"
He paid her the compliment of
•peaking exactly as he would have
•poken to a man; or rather, she hap-
pened to be the woman to take it as
a compliment.
"But I do say It. Sweep! I've heard
all about It from Charlie. He rang me
up last night."
"You're on the telephone, are you?'
"Everybody is in
Where have you lived? Ob, I forgot!
And she laughed. Anything to lift Ibis
duet of theirs out of the minor key!
But what does old Charlie really
think of the case? That's more to the
point," said Cazalet uneasily
"Well, he seemed to fear there was
no chance of bail before the adjourned
hearing But 1 rather gathered he
was not going to be in it himself?"
"No. We decided on one of those
•portsmen who love rushing in where
a family lawyer like Charlie owns to

So he really meant what be had said
before. The phrase had been no care
less misuse of words; but neither
after all. did It necessarily apply to

made It easier for Blanche not to ask

CHAPTER XI.
The Thousandth Man.
It had been new life to them, but
now it was all over. It was the last
evening of their week, and they were
spending it rather silently on
Blanche's balcony.
"I make it at least three hundred.'
said Cazalet, and knocked out a pipe
that might have been a gag "You
see. we were very seldom under fifty!'
"Speak for yourself, please! My
longevity's a tender point." said
Blanche, who looked as though she
had no business to have ber hair up
as she sat in a pale cross-fire between
a lamppost and her lighted room
Cazalet protested that he had only
meant their mileage in the car; he
made himself extremely inteiliginle
now, as he often would when she rai
lied him in a serious voice.
"Well, it's been a heavenly time,'
she assured him just once more. "And
tomorrow it's pretty sure to come al!

"Yes! Tomorrow we shall probably
have Tove back," he answered with
grim Inconsequence.

"Whose is that. Sweep?"
"Mine, for the week I'm talking
about! I mean ours, If you'd only
buck up and get ready to come out!

know!"
Blanche ran off to Martha, who
fussed and hindered her with the best
intentions. It would have been diffi-
cult to say which was the more ex-
cited of the two. But the old nurse
would waste time In perfectly fatuous
reminiscences of the very earliest ex
peditions ln which Mr. Cazalet bad
led and Blanche had followed, and
what a bonny pair they had made
even then, etc. Severely snubbed on
that subject, she took to peering at
her mIstresB, once her bairn, with fur-
tive eagerness and Impatience; for
Blanche, on her side, looked as though
she had something on her mind, and.
indeed, had made one or two attempts
to get it off She had to force it even
ln the end.
"There's just one thing I want to
say before I go. Martha. You know
when Mr. Toye called yesterday. I was
out?"
"Oh. Mr. Toye; yes. I remember.
Miss Blanc*« "
"Well, I don't want you to say that
he came in and waited half an hour
in vain; in fact, not that he came
In at all, or that you're even sure you
saw him, unless, of course, you re
asked."
"Who should ask me, I wonder?"
"Well, I dbn't know, but there seems
to be a little bad blood between Mr
Toye and Mr. Cazalet."
Martha looked for a moment as
though she were about to weep, and
these days, then for another moment as though
I forenrf" she would die „f |a,lgjjing But ,
third moment she celebrated by mak
ing an utter fool of herself, as she
would have been told to her face by
anybody but Blanche, whose yellow
hair was being disarranged by the
very hands that had helped to impris
on it under that motor hat and veil
"Oh, Blanchie. is that all you have
to tell me?" said Martha.

"Oh. nothing, of course."
But still his tone was grim and
heavy, with a schoolboy irony that
would not explaig but could not keep
to himself So Mr Toye must be
turned out of the conversation though
it was not Blanche who had dragged
him in. She wished people would
stick to their point.
"There's one thing I've rather want-
