CHAPTER EIGHT

today was different from waking yesterday, but it was another instant before she knew why. The

: | letter! She reached under her pillow,

dressed in splotchy black ink. Lying flatson her back, she unfolded the single sheet and read the letter i |again. It was brief. “My dear Sophie: “Since you so much wish it, I should consider myself churlish indeed not to accept your offer of a home in the spirit of kindness which, I am certain, prompted your ‘ {thinking of me.

A E-1L for Taste Since she had not thought of Basil for months, Sophie was surPUA prised to find him coming into her RH mind now, in connection with Godfrey. This was no time to wonder what had become—if anything— of that irascible critic. She must devote her thoughts today to Godfrey. It would require tact and delicacy to explain her action in inviting him. » » x AFTER breakfast, Sophie made her morning entrance into the studio, accepting nappily Marcel's tributes to her beauty in the red brocade gown. “This morning we have an Interview with the press,” she said.! “I thought you wouldn't mind.” “Now, Sophie,” he protested, “you | promised me no interruptions.
