CHAPTER XIV "ARE YOU SO DNHATUATED?"

IIldlKIlB-Iiﬁ that her aunt shouldl dare to talk _w her as if she were s schoolgirl still. Lorna. was too as- tonished to speak. She had expected a imld scolding for being rude io Mrs. Shane. but apparently this was something worse!

"Are you so infatuated." Miss Marris went. on. her voice quivering with scorn. "That you have to put- aside commonsense, and ﬁtness and manners altogether?"

"Infatuated?" echoed the tounded Lorna.

"Yes, infatuated! It seems so. at any rate. for youvto do a thin like this! Do you think I didn't now. what was going on in New Ply- mouth? I saw every look you inter- changed with that man. and I've no doubt your father noticed it too!”

A wild glimmer of the drift of lier aunt's complaint. began to dawn upon Lorna. She stared, while-fac- ed_ into lier aunt's angry gaze in the‘ mirror, and said:

"I don't know what on earth you're talking about!" i

fAre you 510mg to deny." said Miss Marris breatlilcssly, "That you went to Christchurch because that- iliat. chauffeur. Hawksford. was going there? Or that you stayed] down there yesterday because lie was there? I lliliik it's too much. Imriia! Your father's chauffeur!"

Lorna opened lier lips to speak, but having started. Miss Marris was too worked up to stop.

"You cairv your modem ideas tno far beyond dignity and good taste! What would Alien think if lie knew of this sort of thing going on whie he's away? What would his people think-people with such a sense cf’ family pride? Do you think one cf Allenssistiers would behave as you

o “He doesn't get on with his fam- ily~he never sees his sisters!"

Anger jerked the words cuttingly from I.»0riia’s lips. She was incredu- lous, but she was furious. I-Ier aunt's interpretation of her actions was so utterly wide of the mark—yet hadl a sufficient element. of truth in it to upset her in a manner she cou‘d

hardly account for. She rose abiiitly. "You're roniolelely vrrnnil"

Lornas voice was hard ivilli energy. "But if you were right. vou seem to have nothing tn say against rne ex- cent that I'm not sufficient of a snob!"

"1 beg your pardon?" said Miss barris. blnking.

“I am not infatuated by Hawks- ford. I didn't go down to Christ- church for that reason! But I want to sav that if I were. ii’ I had been down to Christ church to see him, I wouldn't be deterred from it. be- cause of a mere vanity like class distinction!"

She stopped.‘ lier eyes on ﬁre with righteous passion. Hei- aunt‘s ac- cusation was absurd in the face o! what. had really happened. There were objections to I-Iawksford a thousand times more cogent than that he was a chauffeur — but for some reason her soul could not al- low it to pass. She must assert that that was not the barrier between herself and the mani!

"For the rest." slie ended breath- leslv. all lier indignation drowned in sudden distress. "You're absolutey ivroiig. I admit to you that I didnx go down to see the dentist. I couldn't say why I was going, but I had to give some reason that would prevent Mrs. Shane feeling hurt. I'm not going to say why I went. now. but you'll probably know when iatlier comes back!"

A sudden injection of doubt into the suspicions she had been nursing all dav threw Miss Marris oﬁ’ her balance. Slie gaped speeclilssly. “We've always been good friends. Aunt," said Lorna. “Yowlooked after me and helped me after moth- er died. and no one could have been better. But you shouldn't attack me like this. I know I am apt to be wild and rash bv vour standards-but this isn't anything like that. It's something serious. more serious than anything that. has ever hap- pened to me yet!"

“Seri0us!" repeated Miss Marris,

with a complete change oi’ tone. “You're not going to sav that. you're . real v in love with this man?’ “No! It's nothing that affects me personally, nothing that affects any of us personally!" she hastened to say. "It's something quite outsi"e. got?‘ ‘shall know when father comes ac ."

"But. I can't bear these mysteries! You tell me something is serious'y wrong. and you won't tell me what it is! You see what. I've been think- ing in consequence!"

LORNA KEEPS HER SECRET

Lorna could see what would hap- pen if slie took her Aunt into mr, confidence. Miss Marris would get thoroughly worried. be quite certain that Iriawksford would murder them all, and insist on calling in the aid of the police or the Intelligence De- partment.

Lorna was determined to hold out until lier father came. She would not be put in the position oi’ having weakly thrown the responsibility on to her aunt. leaving everyone, Hawksford included, w draw their own conclusions about wliv she had kept quiet so long . . . l-Iawksford himself must realize. it must be made plain to everyone, that she‘ liad coLected the facts about the case deliberately in order to place them before her father.

Lorna. made her now thoro hly worried aunt sit down. and told er: "Father knows what it's about- ills to do with something he tod me privately about his work here.‘ You know he's dealing with official secrets all the time! He told me to tell no one about i how can I tell you? I've been following up an interesting development. of what 11s to me. Please. aunt. help me by not. asking questions I can't answer. Don't breathe a word of this to anyone and just behave as if every- ihina were normal."

"But. it's so mysterious!" corn- plained Miss Marris.

“Couldn't you turst me lust for

two days until father comes back from the Chathams?"

"well. if I must. I must, I sup- pose!" Miss Marris said, with a re- lurn to hcr normal calm. Blie dr:p- pct‘! the matter with the abrupt. decision slie sometimes showed. she 1 got. up. and looking at Lorna’ senrchiugly. added:

"And you look ill, wretcliedly ill!

You haven't, been yourself for

day's!" hcad. saying

Lorna shook lier nothing. she remembered her

"You won't say a. word about. this. will you?"

"Do I usually go round chatter- ing?" in uirecl Miss Marris drily. "But I'll ver glad when your father gets biw i" she added.

"It's imperative that we leave here to-morrowl If you don't come, I shall o fro-marrow and I don't know w at. she'll think than." Lorna sat down on the bed with s pale, set face.

"Very we very well-I can no when you're serious! If on! I knew what it was all about! ut we'll leave to-morrow. I'll say the ar- rangements in Kaikoura have all been made."

"And you won't breaths s word- not l. word about. this to anyone?" Lorna. asked breathlessly.

"I'll be dumb!" said Miss Marris. "My lips are sealed! But if I don't hear what it's all about when Wes- ton comes back I'll abandon this tour and g0 home!"
