HOW ONE FELL OVER Gard’s first waking thoughts next morning were of Nance entirely. He would see her at dinner-time. How would he find her?

If, this morning, she should be to some extent withdrawn again into her natural modest shell, he would not be surprised; and he made up his mind, then and there, to be in no wise disappointed.
