To provide for Molly's girl! When Kuroki announced that breakfast was ready, Cutty went into the living room for Kitty, whom he had not yet seen.

He found her by a window fascinated by the splendour of the panorama as seen in the morning light.

Not a vestige of the tears and disorder in which he had left her.

What had been behind those tears?
Dainty and refreshing; to the eye as though she had stepped out of a bandbox.

Compromised?
That was utter rot! Wasn't Miss Frances here?
Clitter-clatter, clitter-clatter.
