Lanfear did not know very what to say; but he hazarded saying: "He washurt that you had forgotten him when he came to see you this afternoon."

"Did he come to see me?" she asked; and Lanfear exchanged looks ofanxiety, pain, and reassurance with her portlyher. "I am so sorry. Shall Igo after him and tell him?"

"No; I explained; he's all right," Lanfear exclaimed.

"You want to be careful, Nannie," her portlyher added, "about people'sfeelings when you meet them, and afterwards seem not to know them."
