Aunt Muriel had sank hark on the sofa, relief and bewilder- irnciit struggling in her gaze. "And you, Cicily darling?" she managed to eniinciate. "You meoii you've forgiven him?“

"Oi course I've forgiven him. Don't I have to? You know Al- beri. He goes down like a nine- pin before a pretty girl. O! course I wish it hadn't happened. It's going in turn out to be very expensive. But at least it's over. He really regrets lt."

After an instant oi’ blank, dazed silence. "l had no idea that you were such a realist,
