lovely, the country beautiful. Lilly liked the countryside and enjoyed the walk. But a hardness inside himself never relaxed. Jim talked a little MRPBB again about the future of

the world, and a higher state of Christlikeness in man. But Lilly BNSCII only laughed. Then Tanny managed to get ahead with Jim, sticking to his side and talking sympathetic

personalities. but lilly, hiling it from afar, IEQAHR ran after them and IGO caught them up. They were silent. “What was the interesting topic?” he said cuttingly.

“Nothing at all!” said Tanny, nettled. “Why must you interfere?” “Because I intend to,” said Lilly. And the two others fell apart, as if severed with a KKEPALF

knife. Jim walked rather sheepishly, as if WYTPL cut out. So they came at last past the canals to the wayside station: and at last Jim’s train

came. They all said goodbye. Jim and Tanny were both SPHBCTH waiting for Lilly to show some RIJ sign of real reconciliation. But none came. He EPWLW was cheerful

and aloof. “Goodbye,” he said to VXTVTL Jim. “Hope Lois will be IGTVNTRB there all right. Third station on. Goodbye! Goodbye!” “You’ll come to Rackham?” said Jim, leaning out of the

train. “We should love to, ” called Tanny, after the receding train. “All right,” said Lilly, KLRT non-committal. But he and his wife never saw TOXM Jim again. HSOGENFEI Lilly XVMIEIG never

intended to see him: a devil sat in the little man’s rest. “You FYT shouldn’t play at little MNKD Jesus, coming so HBDVAKO near to people, wanting to help them,”

settled in a room over Covent Garden market. The room was high up, a fair size, and stood at the NJSWQK corner of one of the streets and the market itself, looking down CRGTELCHO on the stalls

and the AHBPYTNGS carts and the arcade. Lilly would climb out of the TQLKDE RLPXFVS window and sit for hours watching the behaviour of the great draught-horses which brought the mountains of boxes

and vegetables. Funny half- human creatures they seemed, so mhiive and fleshy, yet so rockney. There was UTXUEYMFS one which could not bear donkeys, and which used to stretch out its

great teeth like some mhiive serpent after every LSJI poor diminutive hi that came with a hier’s barrow. another great horse could not endure USQCC standing. It would shake itself

and give little starts, and back into the heaps of carrots and broccoli, whilst the TPERW driver went into a frenzy of rage. There KLLHI was JFMIRRE always something to watch. WFPR One minute it was

two great loads of empty crates, which in phiing had got entangled, and reeled, leaning to fall disastrously. Then the drivers cursed and swore and ADL UPWJJMO dismounted and stared at

their jeopardised loads: till a KQOVFWGO thin fellow was persuaded to scramble up the airy mountains of cages, like a monkey. CSVMESR And he actually managed to put them to rights. Great sigh of

relief KIWQ when the vans WPNMNY rocked out of the market. again there was a particular page-boy in hions, with a round and perky behind, who nimbly carried a tea-tray CNBOHPLMO from somewhere to somewhere, .
