" When the Spring came the Doctor brought back to England an entirely different man from the one he had taken abroad . He would not allow his patient to stay in
London a single day , declaring that town air was injurious to him . He hurried Sir George off" to his country house in Dorsetshire , which he had hitherto rarely inhabited . The Doctor had laid his plans . He knew that the Farehams' were at their place at Beechcroft , within a few
miles of Sir George ' s , and he took care that Sybil should have a six weeks' rest from her labours at the nursing home . So , in the quiet country surroundings , in the scent-laden air of the spring-garden , or the free breeze of the upland
pasture , Sir George often met Sybil Fareham , and for the lirst time in his life really made her acquaintance . He had known her , without knowing her , for years ; but now he found plenty to talk about , in spite of her want of repartee ; his own symptoms and regimen which were of such
absorbing interest to him were also of interest—and of intelligent interest—to her . He began to think he had never met a woman who was so entirely agreeable . Even when she began timidly to allude to her philanthropic ideas he found himself in sympathy .
" If I had money , " said Sybil thoughtfully one day , " I should like to build convalescent homes for the sick people when the ) ' leave hospital . It must be dreadful to go back home , before you are really well , to a dirty little slum . But women can dream of what they would like to do . It ' s only men who can do things . Any money we have will go to Tom , father always savs . "
"I , too , am a man , said Sir George , smiling . "And I suppose I have as much money as Tom will ever have . " "Ah ! but then , " said Sybil , '' you wouldn ' t want to build a convalescent home any more than Tom . " "I don't know , " said Sir George . "I think I might if you would come and show me how . Do you know it is just
the sort of thing I should like to do . But it would be on the condition that you'd make a private convalescent home for me lirst . Do 3-011 think you could make that sacrifice for the people ? " Sybil ' s radiant face answered for her .
" Only I'm not sure , " said Sir George , a cloud spreading over his brow , " that I ought to marry . " You see , though I ' m so strong , I ' m an invalid . " '' Not a bit of you , " said Doctor Lonsdale , arriving on the scene and being instantly appealed to . " You were never
sounder in your life . " " Then , what " " My dear fellow , ask no questions . You are alive , you are well , you have the best girl in the world willing to take care of you—what more do you want ? " " I think I have the best friend in the world , too , " said Sir George .
" And so have I , said Sybil , taking the doctor s hand in both of hers . " Would you like me to witness you execute your threat of six months ago ? " asked the doctor . " I ' m quite ready . " "I call that , " said Sir George , disgustedly , " a very silly joke . "
And little Sybil blushed . "Oh , I don't want to go to a hospital now , doctor , ' she said . [ Tin-: END . ]
