Hall. Here Talbot was the first whom he met.

      "Where have you been?" asked his friend.

      "Following a woman."

      "Following a woman?"

      Talbot looked at Prescott in surprise.

      "I didn't know you were that kind of a man, Bob," he said; "but what luck?"

      "None at all. I failed even to learn her name, where she lived or anything else about her. I'll tell you more this evening, because I want your advice."

      "Now tell us of the woman you were following," said Talbot.

      "I don't think I shall," replied Prescott. "I've changed my intention about it—at least, for the present."

      The affair had clung to his mind and the result of his second thought was a resolution to keep it to himself a while longer. He had formed a suspicion, but it might be wrong, and he would not willingly do injustice to any one, least of all to a woman. Her face, when he saw her close at hand, looked pure and good, and now that he recalled it he could remember distinctly that there had been in it a touch of reproach and the reproach was for him—she had seemed to ask why he annoyed her. No, he would wait before speaking of her to his friends.
