Left alone once more, Adrien walked restlessly to and fro.

"If Constance really cared for me," he said to himself, "nothing else in

the world would matter. Lucky Standon! I dare not think of the future,

it what Jasper said was true."

At last he, too, returned to his room; but it was almost morning before

he fell into a troubled slumber.
