Whatever had happened to part us, whatever had imposed such strange silence between us, I could never blame my little Irene. What did I know of her fate? She might have faded and diedr like the frail flower that she was; but then she h&d prom ised to come to me living or dead. I could not solve the strange problem, try as .1 might, so I gave up thinking and idghing wearily, I closed my eyes, leaning my .head back against tlte velvet cqshion roy darling's cheek had pressed, "But whose violet velvet lining, with the lamp-light gloating o'er.
