‘Left to yourself, my girl, you may not have any affairs. ”
“I say,” she reflected, “you ARE rather the master, you know. ’
‘Then what?’ demanded Lucilla in a hushed tone. "I have not many days,—perhaps, not
many hours to live. I am five-and-thirty, and I have
knocked about in the world and tasted the quality of life. CONTENTS
