Cyril says he saw him last week with Bob Seaver." "With--Bob--Seaver ?" faltered Billy, changing color.
"Yes.

I see you remember him," smiled Kate, not quite agreeably.
"Perhaps now you'll take some stock in what I've said, and remember it." "I'll remember it, certainly," returned Billy, a little proudly.

"You've said a good many things to me, in the past, Mrs.Hartwell, and I've remembered them all--every one." It was Kate's turn to flush, and she did it.
"Yes, I know.

And I presume very likely sometimes there _hasn't_ been much foundation for what I've said.

I think this time, however, you'll find there is," she finished, with an air of hurt dignity.
Billy made no reply, perhaps because Delia, at that moment, brought in the baby.
Mrs.Hartwell and little Kate left the Strata the next morning.
