"Solomon, what's made you so glum to-night?
You were cheerful enough when you met me, and when we began; then you got silent.

She slipped her hand in his arm.

"There is something," she said.

"Do tell me." "Do you like Langton ?" he asked.
"Oh, immensely--why?
Oh, Lord, Solomon, what do you mean ?" "You were different in his presence, Julie, from anything you've been before." They took a few paces in silence; then Peter had an idea, and glanced at her.

She was laughing silently to herself.
