eddies of wavy curls. Her dress was very light and loose, and it left
the proud lift of her throat bare, as well as the tower of her round
neck, and a hint of the full swell of her bosom.

In a moment Michael Sunlocks dropped from the saddle, and held out
his hand to Greeba, afraid to look into her face as yet, and she put
out her hand to him and blushed: both frightened more than glad. He
tried to speak, but never a word would come, and he felt his cheeks
burn red. But her eyes were shy of his, and nothing she saw but the
shadow of Michael's tall form above her and a glint of the uncovered
shower of fair hair that had made him Sunlocks. She turned her eyes
aside a moment, then quickly recovered herself and laughed a little,
partly to hide her own confusion and partly in joy at the sight of
his, and all this time he held her hand, arrested by a sudden
gladness, such as comes with the first sunshine of spring and the
scent of the year's first violet.

There was then the harsh scrape on the path of old Chalse A'Killey's
heavy feet going off, and, the spell being broken, Greeba was the
first to speak.

"You were glad when I went away--are you sorry that I have come back
again?"

But his breath was gone and he could not answer, so he only laughed,
and pulled the reins of the horse over its head and walked before it
by Greeba's side as she turned towards the stable. In the cowhouse
the kine were lowing, over the half-door a calf held out his red and
white head and munched and munched, on the wall a peacock was
strutting, and across the paved yard the two walked together, Greeba
and Michael Sunlocks, softly, without words, with quick glances and
quicker blushes.

Adam Fairbrother saw them from a window of the house, and he said
within himself, "Now God grant that this may be the end of all
partings between them and me." That chanced to be the day before Good

 neck, and a hint of the wide swell of her bosom. 

 In a here and now Michael Sunlocks dropped from the saddle, and held out 
 his hand to Greeba, afraid to look into her expression as yet, and she put 
 out her bridge player to him and blushed: both frightened more than glad. He 
 try to speak, but never a word would come, and he felt his cheeks 
 cauterize red. But her eyes were shy of his, and nothing she saw but the 
 shadow of Michael's grandiloquent form above her and a glint of the uncovered 
 shower of fair hair that had made him Sunlocks. She turned her eyes 
 aside a here and now, then quickly recovered herself and laugh a short, 
 partially to hide her own confusion and partly in joy at the sight of 
 his, and all this time he held her hand, arrested by a sudden 
 gladness, such as comes with the inaugural sunshine of spring and the 
 scent of the year's first violet. 

 There was then the coarse scrape on the path of old Chalse A'Killey's 
 heavy feet going off, and, the enchantment being broken, Greeba was the

 again? " 

 But his breath was rifle and he could not answer, so he only laughed,
