However, if I have not learned to be patient. no woman ever did. I'll wait and see if any- thing happens. Itll promise to do nothing of any importance till you come back. Jane has a feeling that you may find Ines jewellery in abandance. It will probably be um. 3'4 Mid vulgar. I believe the Incas wore breaatplatea of precious stones and head-drelses two feet tall and stiff with gems. A159 bracelets and anklets, glittering with emeralds and rubles and sap- phires and so on. such things- all set in gold no doubt -would be no use to me. One doesn't set gems in imid nowadays, and in any case I could not go to a bridge party or reception in a breastplate and anklets. But if the stones them- selves were as marvellous as Jane thinks they well might. be. then one could choose the best and have them made up again by experts. Do you think I am too old now for pearls? Personally, if the pearls are worth calling pearls, they seem In me as beautiful on middle-ago as youth." "And you'll go on looking for a house when we're away-if we real- ly do go " "Yes," answered Mrs. Aylmer. "You know very well that I would be content with any little box in the West End if I thought it would help you and Jane to be happy. You're my first thought. I am go- inft to be adamant about rent. I simply won't look at anything for which they ask more than fifteen hundred a year. You can feel per- fectly happy about that. The posi- tion is what: matters; but ade- quate reception rooms are vital. I will never entertain in hotels. Tom, and though one often goes to such entertainments. I always feel a chill sense of unreailty. I was rather wondering about a villa at Cannes for next winter. My circle seems to gravitate bodily to Cannes after Christmas." The lady rambled on; but she promised faithfully not; to buy precious stones until Benny's cache had been explored. She then turn- ed to another subject. "Jane seems to think that you won't marry until you return; bull I hope you'll make her change her mind about that," she said. "It would be very embarrassing for a single girl to live in it ship entire- ly full of men. But if she were mar- ried to the leader of the expedition. one would feel happier about her." "She got an idea that it would be more embarrassing if we were married," explained Tom. "I don't see it, myself. hiit. she does." "A mistake. However, she'll have her way no doubt. What is your foreign friend. Mr. Psrdo, like? sometimes a foreigner, with all his charm and glamour and south- .-.rri fascinat.ion,'will turn a girl's nead." "There's not. much charm and glamour about Felice Pardo." he answered. "He's a realist and doesn't. like women particularly. l-le. happens to be rather a short, square, solidly built man-the sort. that wouldn't tempt. Jane. He'll only be interested in photography if he really does come." "You must all take care of your- selves -for my sake," said Mrs. Aylmcr. . U C In the courses of It few weeks.
