"You mustnlt mind it 1 seem a tritle strong and silent." he said smiling. "I've hardly said a word. except. in Chinese for months. I know Janet and Pat here so darned well. that hall the time when we meet. we Just sit and grunt at. each other. You get like that in the wilds. But actually I'm more than glad to see you. It's more than one inanls job. Tan Fu. At least it should be- we could make a second Chunkui: of the place. if only the iirm would give up decent support."

"That sounds line." niuttci-ed Ger- ald I-lavelock.

Janet James got out oi her chair.

and said she must go. suddenly she ielt sometliing wrong--something iihe didn't like about the atmo- sphere of the room It was only as me left the verandah that she inali- aged to comply with the custnn. n! a. lifetime and be quite honest with herself. At that point she admitted that it was the night oi sheila. I-laveloclr. ly- ing so gracefully there in the long chair, her eyes sliding in appraisal imm her husband to Leslio Dali- and back again, which had dis- quieted her so furiously. It disquitcri her the more iwcaiise the felt she could not speak of her fears to her husband. Pat would probably dra: in a quotation regarding the virtues of Charity.

she leit I ialrly awkward silence behind her.

"I think I could do with a bath and a chance." said Sheila Have- lnck. "Will yC'll shnu me the bath- room?"

Dale grinned.

"Whichew-,r bedroom imi nhnnsn. I'm airaid." he said. "Only tin-hut quite big. Mrs. Havelock. I'll tell the boy to have some water heated right away."

"rhanir you." said sheila curtiv.

She walked acrcss the room in the two doors of the guest.-rooms and threw them open. -

"Ill take this, Gerry." she said "Bring my bags in. will yoii? I think thLs bed looks the better of the two."

"It is," said Dale quietly.

Sheila 1-laveloelrs door closed lic- hind her. with a slightly-enibah rused lopsided grin. Gerald went out to the verandah and rctiirncd with a battery of expensive-looklii; suit.-caaea and hat boxes. 'I'hrer minutes later he came out. or his Iwiieta room. and found that. Dale had brought. in his own bags.

"Oh thanks." said Gerald hastily. and grabbed them. He retired hasti- ly into the second room oarrying: the bags leaving Dale staring af- ter him.

”It would seem." muttered Dale ”that theres a good deal to be said for not lieing inarrieri!”

He was it-filling his pipe whet: sheila reopened her door.

"!'rl he arateful." she said. "if Yh0)'.li hurry up that hot. water!”
