olding like a flower to
the sea wind.

Richard Pinckney was standing in the piazza before his bedroom window
looking down into the garden.

To him suddenly appeared Seth.

"If you please, sah," said Seth, "Rachel tole me tell yo' de train for
N'York--"

"Damn New York," said Pinckney. "Get out."

Seth vanished, grinning, and he returned to his contemplation of the
garden.

She must never know.--In the years to come, perhaps, he might tell her--
In the years to come--

He was turning away when a step on the piazza below made him come to the
rail again and lean over. It was Phyl. She vanished and then reappeared
again, leaving the lower piazza and coming right out into the garden. He
waited till the sun had caught her in both hands, holding her against the
background of the cherokee roses, then he called to her:

"Phyl!"

She started, turned, and looked up.
