PILOGUE.

And what became of them all?

He who does not tell, on the plea that he is "competing with Life,"
which never knits up a plot, but leaves all the threads loose, acts
unfairly.

Mrs. St. John Deloraine is now Mrs. Maitland, and the happy couple are
visiting the great Colonies, seeking a site for a new settlement of the
unemployed, who should lead happy lives under the peaceful sway of happy
Mrs. Maitland.

Barton and Mrs. Barton have practised the endowment of research, in the
case of Winter, who has quite recovered from his injuries, and still
hopes to fly. But he has never trusted himself again on his machine,
which, moreover, has never flown again. Winter, like the alchemist who
once made a diamond by chance, in Balzac's novel, has never recovered
the creative moment. But he makes very interesting models, in which Mrs.
Barton's little boy begins to take a lively interest.

Eliza Gullick, declining all offers of advancement unconnected with
the British drama, clings to the profession for which, as Mrs. Gullick
maintains, she has a hereditary genius.

"We hear," says the _Athenaeum_, "that the long promised edition of
'Demetrius of Scepsis,' by Mr. Bielby, of St. Gatien's, is in the hands
of the delegates of the Clarendon Press."

But Fiction herself is revolted by the improbability of the statement
that an Oxford Don has finished his _magnum opus!_
