hat I think would be reasonable. As you are so kind,
give Dolly a hundred pounds. It will make a real difference."

"No," he said, "it's going to be a thousand."

"I'm quite sure that John would not allow Dolly to accept it."

Radmore knew that when Janet invoked John, it meant that she had made up
her mind as to what must be.

He went to the door, opened it, and called out in what seemed to Janet a
very imperious tone: "Betty?" And yet no glimmer of the truth came into
Janet's mind.

"It's no good sending for Betty," she said sharply. "There are things
that can be done, and things that can't be done."

As she uttered that very obvious remark, Betty appeared.

"Yes," she said a little breathlessly. "Yes, Godfrey, what is it? We have
just started washing up--"

He took her hand and led her in front of Janet. "We have got to tell her
_now_," he said. "We must do it for Dolly's sake; I never saw anyone
looking so woe-begone as she has looked all the morning."

And then, at last, Janet began to understand.

"I don't think Mr. Tosswill will be able to object to Dolly's _brother_
giving her a thousand pounds," he said, and then, very much to Janet's
surprise, he suddenly threw his arms round her, and gave her a great hug.
