Like > a dutiful patient, Mary swung into this routine. She was now ‘building toward ‘a definite goal and everything she did in gaining new "y strength was ‘a step toward it. When Dr. O'Connell came back from France, she must be in perfect condition to undergo the treat- / ment that might restore her features. When that was done, she would find Vincent and all the past could be blotted out. Gilbert Lenox was "s her benefactor and she bore his hame. But.she was as impatient to free him from this bond as he would be to be free of it. She knew s+ It had been pity—nothing more— that had persuaded him to help her. “Letter for you, Ma’'m.” It was Mrs. Simmons, the land- % lady.

So cold, so impérsonal.
