"Thaes all right," Mr5. Win-

Se\•eral times Mimms tried to con1·ey a polite desire tt) part company in the cuurse of the journey to Kentish Town, but ineffectually. They cithe.r inte.r­rupted, or took it good-humored­ly as a fear of intrusion on his part.

"You ain't got nowhere else," Bill said at last, clinching the matter. "You 'aven't took: a dis­like to the missu~ ?"

"Oh, no!" Mimms h1.1stened to assure them.

"Well, Bess'll like it personal if you don't come," Bill replied.

It wa.s a neat little house of two storeys standing in a terrace.

They fussed 0\"c.r him, and ~Hmms, -who had never before been fussed over-at least, his sergeant's fussing was (I{ a differ­ent nature---rather enjoyed it. At tea Bill's sister Blanche was introduced : a big, rather good­looking woman on the wrong side of thirty. h appeared that 10he lived with Dill and his wife. It did not appear - ahhDugh equally true-that ~ill and his wife were sorry fur u. Dlanche was very interested in ~imms. She passed him thing~ <~I tea and listened to him when he told :;orne very uninteresting items of a very uninteresting career. Men in Mimms's platoon never listen­ed to him. He rather liked the change. 1l1at evening- the}' all went to the pictures. L'nfortu­natcly, in the. CTO\\d they were sepa.rated. Mimms sat with Bi.an(:hc:. . .
