+MADE TO MEASURE
+
+Mr. Mott brought his niece home from the station with considerable pride.
+Although he had received a photograph to assist identification, he had
+been very dubious about accosting the pretty, well-dressed girl who had
+stepped from the train and gazed around with dove-like eyes in search of
+him.  Now he was comfortably conscious of the admiring gaze of his
+younger fellow-townsmen.
+
+"You'll find it a bit dull after London, I expect," he remarked, as he
+inserted his key in the door of a small house in a quiet street.
+
+"I'm tired of London," said Miss Garland.  "I think this is a beautiful
+little old town--so peaceful."
+
+Mr. Mott looked gratified.
+
+"I hope you'll stay a long time," he said, as he led the way into the
+small front room.  "I'm a lonely old man."
+
+His niece sank into an easy chair, and looked about her.
+
+"Thank you," she said, slowly.  "I hope I shall.  I feel better already.
+There is so much to upset one in London."
+
+"Noise?" queried Mr. Mott.
+
+"And other things," said Miss Garland, with a slight shudder.
+
+Mr. Mott sighed in sympathy with the unknown, and, judging by his niece's
+expression, the unknowable.  He rearranged the teacups, and, going to the
+kitchen, returned in a few minutes with a pot of tea.
+
+"Mrs. Pett leaves at three," he said, in explanation, "to look after her
+children, but she comes back again at eight to look after my supper.  And
+how is your mother?"
+
+Miss Garland told him.
+
+"Last letter I had from her," said Mr. Mott, stealing a glance at the
+girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged."
+
+His niece drew herself up.
+
+"Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour.  "I have seen too
+much of married life.  I prefer my freedom.  Besides, I don't like men."
+
+Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the
+subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
+Miss Garland's taste, it seemed, lay in the direction of hospital
+nursing, or some other occupation beneficial to mankind at large.  Simple
+and demure, she filled the simpler Mr. Mott with a strong sense of the
+shortcomings of his unworthy sex.
+
+Within two days, under the darkling glance of Mrs. Pett, she had altered
+the arrangements of the house.  Flowers appeared on the meal-table,
+knives and forks were properly cleaned, and plates no longer appeared
+ornamented with the mustard of a previous meal.  Fresh air circulated
+through the house, and, passing from Mrs. Pett's left knee to the lumbar
+region of Mr. Mott, went on its beneficent way rejoicing.
+
+On the fifth day of her visit, Mr. Mott sat alone in the front parlour.
+The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an
+easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door
+opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing
+awkwardly in the doorway.
+
+"Is Miss Garland in?"  he stammered.
+
+Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids.
+
+"She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
+
+The young man stood fingering his hat.
+
+"My name is Hurst," he said, with slight emphasis.  "Mr. Alfred Hurst."
+
+Mr. Mott, still somewhat confused, murmured that he was glad to hear it.
+
+"I have come from London to see Florrie," continued the intruder.  "I
+suppose she won't be long?"
+
+Mr. Mott thought not, and after a moment's hesitation invited Mr. Hurst
+to take a chair.
+
+"I suppose she told you we are engaged?"  said the latter.
+
+"Engaged!" said the startled Mr. Mott.  "Why, she told me she didn't like
+men."
+
+"Playfulness," replied Mr. Hurst, with an odd look.  "Ah, here she is!"
+
+The handle of the front door turned, and a moment later the door of the
+room was opened and the charming head of Miss Garland appeared in the
+opening.
+
+"Back again," she said, brightly.  "I've just been----"
+
+She caught sight of Mr. Hurst, and the words died away on her lips.  The
+door slammed, and the two gentlemen, exchanging glances, heard a hurried
+rush upstairs and the slamming of another door.  Also a key was heard to
+turn sharply in a lock.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," said Mr. Mott, staring.
+
+The young man turned pale.
+
+"Perhaps she has gone upstairs to take her things off," he muttered,
+resuming his seat.  "Don't--don't hurry her!"
+
+"I wasn't going to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He twisted his beard uneasily, and at the end of ten minutes looked from
+the clock to Mr. Hurst and coughed.
+
+"If you wouldn't mind letting her know I'm waiting," said the young man,
+brokenly.
+
+Mr. Mott rose, and went slowly upstairs.  More slowly still, after an
+interval of a few minutes, he came back again.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," he said, slowly.
+
+Mr. Hurst gasped.
+
+"I--I must see her," he faltered.
+
+"She won't see you," repeated Mr. Mott.  "And she told me to say she was
+surprised at you following her down here."
+
+Mr. Hurst uttered a faint moan, and with bent head passed into the little
+passage and out into the street, leaving Mr. Mott to return to the
+sitting-room and listen to such explanations as Miss Garland deemed
+advisable.  Great goodness of heart in the face of persistent and
+unwelcome attentions appeared to be responsible for the late engagement.
+
+"Well, it's over now," said her uncle, kindly, "and no doubt he'll soon
+find somebody else.  There are plenty of girls would jump at him, I
+expect."
+
+Miss Garland shook her head.
+
+"He said he couldn't live without me," she remarked, soberly.
+
+Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"In less than three months I expect he'll be congratulating himself," he
+said, cheerfully.  "Why, I was nearly cau--married, four times.  It's a
+silly age."
+
+His niece said "Indeed!" and, informing him in somewhat hostile tones
+that she was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her room.
+
+Mr. Mott spent the evening by himself, and retiring to bed at ten-thirty
+was awakened by a persistent knocking at the front door at half-past one.
+Half awakened, he lit a candle, and, stumbling downstairs, drew back the
+bolt of the door, and stood gaping angrily at the pathetic features of
+Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Sorry to disturb you," said the young man, "but would you mind giving
+this letter to Miss Garland?"
+
+"Sorry to disturb me!" stuttered Mr. Mott.  "What do you mean by it?  Eh?
+What do you mean by it?"
+
+"It is important," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can't rest.  I've eaten nothing
+all day."
+
+"Glad to hear it," snapped the irritated Mr. Mott.
+
+"If you will give her that letter, I shall feel easier," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"I'll give it to her in the morning," said the other, snatching it from
+him.  "Now get off."
+
+Mr. Hurst still murmuring apologies, went, and Mr. Mott, also murmuring,
+returned to bed.  The night was chilly, and it was some time before he
+could get to sleep again.  He succeeded at last, only to be awakened an
+hour later by a knocking more violent than before.  In a state of mind
+bordering upon frenzy, he dived into his trousers again and went
+blundering downstairs in the dark.
+
+"Sorry to--" began Mr. Hurst.
+
+Mr. Mott made uncouth noises at him.
+
+"I have altered my mind," said the young man.  "Would you mind letting me
+have that letter back again?  It was too final."
+
+"You--get--off !"  said the other, trembling with cold and passion.
+
+"I must have that letter," said Mr. Hurst, doggedly.  "All my future
+happiness may depend upon it."
+
+Mr. Mott, afraid to trust himself with speech, dashed upstairs, and after
+a search for the matches found the letter, and, returning to the front
+door, shut it on the visitor's thanks.  His niece's door opened as he
+passed it, and a gentle voice asked for enlightenment.
+
+"How silly of him!"  she said, softly.  "I hope he won't catch cold.
+What did you say?"
+
+"I was coughing," said Mr. Mott, hastily.
+
+"You'll get cold if you're not careful," said his thoughtful niece.
+"That's the worst of men, they never seem to have any thought.  Did he
+seem angry, or mournful, or what?  I suppose you couldn't see his face?"
+
+"I didn't try," said Mr. Mott, crisply.  "Good night."
+
+By the morning his ill-humour had vanished, and he even became slightly
+facetious over the events of the night.  The mood passed at the same
+moment that Mr. Hurst passed the window.
+
+"Better have him in and get it over," he said, irritably.
+
+Miss Garland shuddered.
+
+"Never!" she said, firmly.  "He'd be down on his knees.  It would be too
+painful.  You don't know him."
+
+"Don't want to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He finished his breakfast in silence, and, after a digestive pipe,
+proposed a walk.  The profile of Mr. Hurst, as it went forlornly past the
+window again, served to illustrate Miss Garland's refusal.
+
+"I'll go out and see him," said Mr. Mott, starting up.  "Are you going to
+be a prisoner here until this young idiot chooses to go home?  It's
+preposterous!"
+
+He crammed his hat on firmly and set out in pursuit of Mr. Hurst, who was
+walking slowly up the street, glancing over his shoulder.  "Morning!"
+said Mr. Mott, fiercely.  "Good morning," said the other.
+
+"Now, look here," said Mr. Mott.  "This has gone far enough, and I won't
+have any more of it.  Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying
+a young lady that doesn't want you.  Haven't you got any pride?"
+
+"No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
+
+"I don't believe you have," said the other, regarding him, "and I expect
+that's where the trouble is.  Did she ever have reason to think you were
+looking after any other girls?"
+
+"Never, I swear it," said Mr. Hurst, eagerly.
+
+"Just so," said Mr. Mott, with a satisfied nod.  "That's where you made a
+mistake.  She was too sure of you; it was too easy.  No excitement.
+Girls like a man that other girls want; they don't want a turtle-dove in
+fancy trousers."
+
+Mr. Hurst coughed.
+
+"And they like a determined man," continued Miss Garland's uncle.  "Why,
+in my young days, if I had been jilted, and come down to see about it,
+d'you think I'd have gone out of the house without seeing her?  I might
+have been put out--by half-a-dozen--but I'd have taken the mantelpiece
+and a few other things with me.  And you are bigger than I am."
+
+"We aren't all made the same," said Mr. Hurst, feebly.
+
+"No, we're not," said Mr. Mott.  "I'm not blaming you; in a way, I'm
+sorry for you.  If you're not born with a high spirit, nothing'll give it
+to you."
+
+"It might be learnt," said Mr. Hurst.  Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"High spirits are born, not made," he said.  "The best thing you can do
+is to go and find another girl, and marry her before she finds you out."
+
+Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"There's no other girl for me," he said, miserably.  "And everything
+seemed to be going so well.  We've been buying things for the house for
+the last six months, and I've just got a good rise in my screw."
+
+"It'll do for another girl," said Mr. Mott, briskly.  "Now, you get off
+back to town.  You are worrying Florrie by staying here, and you are
+doing no good to anybody.  Good-bye."
+
+"I'll walk back as far as the door with you," said Mr. Hurst.  "You've
+done me good.  It's a pity I didn't meet you before."
+
+"Remember what I've told you, and you'll do well yet," he said, patting
+the young man on the arm.
+
+"I will," said Mr. Hurst, and walked on by his side, deep in thought.
+
+"I can't ask you in," said Mr. Mott, jocularly, as he reached his door,
+and turned the key in the lock.  "Good-bye."
+
+"Good-bye," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+He grasped the other's outstretched hand, and with a violent jerk pulled
+him into the street.  Then he pushed open the door, and, slipping into
+the passage, passed hastily into the front room, closely followed by the
+infuriated Mr. Mott.
+
+"What--what--what!" stammered that gentleman.
+
+"I'm taking your tip," said Mr. Hurst, pale but determined.  "I'm going
+to stay here until I have seen Florrie."
+
+"You--you're a serpent," said Mr. Mott, struggling for breath.  "I--I'm
+surprised at you.  You go out before you get hurt."
+
+"Not without the mantelpiece," said Mr. Hurst, with a distorted grin.
+
+"A viper!" said Mr. Mott, with extreme bitterness.  "If you are not out
+in two minutes I'll send for the police."
+
+"Florrie wouldn't like that," said Mr. Hurst.  "She's awfully particular
+about what people think.  You just trot upstairs and tell her that a
+gentleman wants to see her."
+
+He threw himself into Mr. Mott's own particular easy chair, and, crossing
+his knees, turned a deaf ear to the threats of that incensed gentleman.
+Not until the latter had left the room did his features reveal the
+timorousness of the soul within.  Muffled voices sounded from upstairs,
+and it was evident that an argument of considerable length was in
+progress.  It was also evident from the return of Mr. Mott alone that his
+niece had had the best of it.
+
+"I've done all I could," he said, "but she declines to see you.  She says
+she won't see you if you stay here for a month, and you couldn't do that,
+you know."
+
+"Why not?" inquired Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Why not?" repeated Mr. Mott, repressing his feelings with some
+difficulty. "Food!"
+
+Mr. Hurst started.
+
+"And drink," said Mr. Mott, following up his advantage.  "There's no good
+in starving yourself for nothing, so you may as well go."
+
+"When I've seen Florrie," said the young man, firmly.
+
+Mr. Mott slammed the door, and for the rest of the day Mr. Hurst saw him
+no more.  At one o'clock a savoury smell passed the door on its way
+upstairs, and at five o'clock a middle-aged woman with an inane smile
+looked into the room on her way aloft with a loaded tea-tray.  By supper-
+time he was suffering considerably from hunger and thirst.
+
+At ten o'clock he heard the footsteps of Mr. Mott descending the stairs.
+The door opened an inch, and a gruff voice demanded to know whether he
+was going to stay there all night.  Receiving a cheerful reply in the
+affirmative, Mr. Mott secured the front door with considerable violence,
+and went off to bed without another word.
+
+He was awakened an hour or two later by the sound of something falling,
+and, sitting up in bed to listen, became aware of a warm and agreeable
+odour.  It was somewhere about the hour of midnight, but a breakfast
+smell of eggs and bacon would not be denied.
+
+He put on some clothes and went downstairs.  A crack of light showed
+under the kitchen door, and, pushing it open with some force, he gazed
+spellbound at the spectacle before him.
+
+"Come in," said Mr. Hurst, heartily.  "I've just finished."
+
+He rocked an empty beer-bottle and patted another that was half full.
+Satiety was written on his face as he pushed an empty plate from him,
+and, leaning back in his chair, smiled lazily at Mr. Mott.
+
+"Go on," said that gentleman, hoarsely.  Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"Enough is as good as a feast," he said, reasonably.  "I'll have some
+more to-morrow."
+
+"Oh, will you?"  said the other.  "Will you?"
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, opening his coat, disclosed a bottle of beer in
+each breast-pocket.  The other pockets, it appeared, contained food.
+
+"And here's the money for it," he said, putting down some silver on the
+table.  "I am determined, but honest."
+
+With a sweep of his hand, Mr. Mott sent the money flying.
+
+"To-morrow morning I send for the police.  Mind that!"  he roared.
+
+"I'd better have my breakfast early, then," said Mr. Hurst, tapping his
+pockets.  "Good night.  And thank you for your advice."
+
+He sat for some time after the disappearance of his host, and then,
+returning to the front room, placed a chair at the end of the sofa and,
+with the tablecloth for a quilt, managed to secure a few hours' troubled
+sleep.  At eight o'clock he washed at the scullery sink, and at ten
+o'clock Mr. Mott, with an air of great determination, came in to deliver
+his ultimatum.
+
+"If you're not outside the front door in five minutes, I'm going to fetch
+the police," he said, fiercely.
+
+"I want to see Florrie," said the other.
+
+"Well, you won't see her," shouted Mr. Mott.
+
+Mr. Hurst stood feeling his chin.
+
+"Well, would you mind taking a message for me?" he asked.  "I just want
+you to ask her whether I am really free.  Ask her whether I am free to
+marry again."
+
+Mr. Mott eyed him in amazement.
+
+"You see, I only heard from her mother," pursued Mr. Hurst, "and a friend
+of mine who is in a solicitor's office says that isn't good enough.  I
+only came down here to make sure, and I think the least she can do is to
+tell me herself.  If she won't see me, perhaps she'd put it in writing.
+You see, there's another lady."
+
+"But" said the mystified Mr. Mott.
+
+"You told me----"
+
+"You tell her that," said the other.
+
+Mr. Mott stood for a few seconds staring at him, and then without a word
+turned on his heel and went upstairs.  Left to himself, Mr. Hurst walked
+nervously up and down the room, and, catching sight of his face in the
+old-fashioned glass on the mantel-piece, heightened its colour by a few
+pinches.  The minutes seemed inter-minable, but at last he heard the
+steps of Mr. Mott on the stairs again.
+
+"She's coming down to see you herself," said the latter, solemnly.
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, turning to the window, tried in vain to take an
+interest in passing events.  A light step sounded on the stairs, the door
+creaked, and he turned to find himself con-fronted by Miss Garland.
+
+"Uncle told me" she began, coldly.  Mr. Hurst bowed.
+
+"I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble," he said, trying to
+control his voice, "but you see my position, don't you?"
+
+"No," said the girl.
+
+"Well, I wanted to make sure," said Mr. Hurst.  "It's best for all of us,
+isn't it?  Best for you, best for me, and, of course, for my young lady."
+
+"You never said anything about her before," said Miss Garland, her eyes
+darkening.
+
+"Of course not," said Mr. Hurst.  "How could I?  I was engaged to you,
+and then she wasn't my young lady; but, of course, as soon as you broke
+it off--"
+
+"Who is she?" inquired Miss Garland, in a casual voice.
+
+"You don't know her," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"What is she like?"
+
+"I can't describe her very well," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can only say she's
+the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  I think that's what made me
+take to her.  And she's easily pleased.  She liked the things I have been
+buying for the house tremendously."
+
+"Did she?" said Miss Garland, with a gasp.
+
+"All except that pair of vases you chose," continued the veracious Mr.
+Hurst.  "She says they are in bad taste, but she can give them to the
+charwoman."
+
+"Oh!" said the girl.  "Oh, indeed!  Very kind of her.  Isn't there
+anything else she doesn't like?"
+
+Mr. Hurst stood considering.
+
+"She doesn't like the upholstering of the best chairs," he said at last.
+"She thinks they are too showy, so she's going to put covers over them."
+
+There was a long pause, during which Mr. Mott, taking his niece gently by
+the arm, assisted her to a chair.
+
+"Otherwise she is quite satisfied," concluded Mr. Hurst.
+
+Miss Garland took a deep breath, but made no reply.
+
+"I have got to satisfy her that I am free," said the young man, after
+another pause.  "I suppose that I can do so?"
+
+"I--I'll think it over," said Miss Garland, in a low voice.  "I am not
+sure what is the right thing to do.  I don't want to see you made
+miserable for life.  It's nothing to me, of course, but still--"
+
+She got up and, shaking off the proffered assistance of her uncle, went
+slowly and languidly up to her room.  Mr. Mott followed her as far as the
+door, and then turned indignantly upon Mr. Hurst.
+
+"You--you've broke her heart," he said, solemnly.
+
+"That's all right," said Mr. Hurst, with a delighted wink.  "I'll mend it
+again."

+<p>
+    "You'll find it a bit dull after London, I expect," he remarked, as he
+    inserted his key in the door of a small house in a quiet street.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'm tired of London," said Miss Garland.  "I think this is a beautiful
+    little old town&mdash;so peaceful."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott looked gratified.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I hope you'll stay a long time," he said, as he led the way into the
+    small front room.  "I'm a lonely old man."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece sank into an easy chair, and looked about her.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Thank you," she said, slowly.  "I hope I shall.  I feel better already.
+    There is so much to upset one in London."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Noise?" queried Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And other things," said Miss Garland, with a slight shudder.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott sighed in sympathy with the unknown, and, judging by his niece's
+    expression, the unknowable.  He rearranged the teacups, and, going to the
+    kitchen, returned in a few minutes with a pot of tea.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Mrs. Pett leaves at three," he said, in explanation, "to look after her
+    children, but she comes back again at eight to look after my supper.  And
+    how is your mother?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland told him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Last letter I had from her," said Mr. Mott, stealing a glance at the
+    girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece drew herself up.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour.  "I have seen too
+    much of married life.  I prefer my freedom.  Besides, I don't like men."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the
+    subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
+    Miss Garland's taste, it seemed, lay in the direction of hospital
+    nursing, or some other occupation beneficial to mankind at large.  Simple
+    and demure, she filled the simpler Mr. Mott with a strong sense of the
+    shortcomings of his unworthy sex.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Within two days, under the darkling glance of Mrs. Pett, she had altered
+    the arrangements of the house.  Flowers appeared on the meal-table,
+    knives and forks were properly cleaned, and plates no longer appeared
+    ornamented with the mustard of a previous meal.  Fresh air circulated
+    through the house, and, passing from Mrs. Pett's left knee to the lumbar
+    region of Mr. Mott, went on its beneficent way rejoicing.
+</p>
+<p>
+    On the fifth day of her visit, Mr. Mott sat alone in the front parlour.
+    The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an
+    easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door
+    opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing
+    awkwardly in the doorway.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Is Miss Garland in?"  he stammered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The young man stood fingering his hat.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "My name is Hurst," he said, with slight emphasis.  "Mr. Alfred Hurst."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott, still somewhat confused, murmured that he was glad to hear it.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have come from London to see Florrie," continued the intruder.  "I
+    suppose she won't be long?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott thought not, and after a moment's hesitation invited Mr. Hurst
+    to take a chair.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I suppose she told you we are engaged?"  said the latter.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Engaged!" said the startled Mr. Mott.  "Why, she told me she didn't like
+    men."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Playfulness," replied Mr. Hurst, with an odd look.  "Ah, here she is!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    The handle of the front door turned, and a moment later the door of the
+    room was opened and the charming head of Miss Garland appeared in the
+    opening.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Back again," she said, brightly.  "I've just been&mdash;&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    She caught sight of Mr. Hurst, and the words died away on her lips.  The
+    door slammed, and the two gentlemen, exchanging glances, heard a hurried
+    rush upstairs and the slamming of another door.  Also a key was heard to
+    turn sharply in a lock.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't want to see you," said Mr. Mott, staring.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The young man turned pale.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Perhaps she has gone upstairs to take her things off," he muttered,
+    resuming his seat.  "Don't&mdash;don't hurry her!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I wasn't going to," said Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He twisted his beard uneasily, and at the end of ten minutes looked from
+    the clock to Mr. Hurst and coughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you wouldn't mind letting her know I'm waiting," said the young man,
+    brokenly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott rose, and went slowly upstairs.  More slowly still, after an
+    interval of a few minutes, he came back again.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't want to see you," he said, slowly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst gasped.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I&mdash;I must see her," he faltered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She won't see you," repeated Mr. Mott.  "And she told me to say she was
+    surprised at you following her down here."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst uttered a faint moan, and with bent head passed into the little
+    passage and out into the street, leaving Mr. Mott to return to the
+    sitting-room and listen to such explanations as Miss Garland deemed
+    advisable.  Great goodness of heart in the face of persistent and
+    unwelcome attentions appeared to be responsible for the late engagement.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, it's over now," said her uncle, kindly, "and no doubt he'll soon
+    find somebody else.  There are plenty of girls would jump at him, I
+    expect."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland shook her head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "He said he couldn't live without me," she remarked, soberly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott laughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "In less than three months I expect he'll be congratulating himself," he
+    said, cheerfully.  "Why, I was nearly cau&mdash;married, four times.  It's a
+    silly age."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece said "Indeed!" and, informing him in somewhat hostile tones
+    that she was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her room.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott spent the evening by himself, and retiring to bed at ten-thirty
+    was awakened by a persistent knocking at the front door at half-past one.
+    Half awakened, he lit a candle, and, stumbling downstairs, drew back the
+    bolt of the door, and stood gaping angrily at the pathetic features of
+    Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to disturb you," said the young man, "but would you mind giving
+    this letter to Miss Garland?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to disturb me!" stuttered Mr. Mott.  "What do you mean by it?  Eh?
+    What do you mean by it?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It is important," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can't rest.  I've eaten nothing
+    all day."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Glad to hear it," snapped the irritated Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you will give her that letter, I shall feel easier," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll give it to her in the morning," said the other, snatching it from
+    him.  "Now get off."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst still murmuring apologies, went, and Mr. Mott, also murmuring,
+    returned to bed.  The night was chilly, and it was some time before he
+    could get to sleep again.  He succeeded at last, only to be awakened an
+    hour later by a knocking more violent than before.  In a state of mind
+    bordering upon frenzy, he dived into his trousers again and went
+    blundering downstairs in the dark.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to&mdash;" began Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott made uncouth noises at him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have altered my mind," said the young man.  "Would you mind letting me
+    have that letter back again?  It was too final."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;get&mdash;off !"  said the other, trembling with cold and passion.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I must have that letter," said Mr. Hurst, doggedly.  "All my future
+    happiness may depend upon it."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott, afraid to trust himself with speech, dashed upstairs, and after
+    a search for the matches found the letter, and, returning to the front
+    door, shut it on the visitor's thanks.  His niece's door opened as he
+    passed it, and a gentle voice asked for enlightenment.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "How silly of him!"  she said, softly.  "I hope he won't catch cold.
+    What did you say?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I was coughing," said Mr. Mott, hastily.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You'll get cold if you're not careful," said his thoughtful niece.
+    "That's the worst of men, they never seem to have any thought.  Did he
+    seem angry, or mournful, or what?  I suppose you couldn't see his face?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I didn't try," said Mr. Mott, crisply.  "Good night."
+</p>
+<p>
+    By the morning his ill-humour had vanished, and he even became slightly
+    facetious over the events of the night.  The mood passed at the same
+    moment that Mr. Hurst passed the window.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Better have him in and get it over," he said, irritably.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland shuddered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Never!" she said, firmly.  "He'd be down on his knees.  It would be too
+    painful.  You don't know him."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Don't want to," said Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He finished his breakfast in silence, and, after a digestive pipe,
+    proposed a walk.  The profile of Mr. Hurst, as it went forlornly past the
+    window again, served to illustrate Miss Garland's refusal.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll go out and see him," said Mr. Mott, starting up.  "Are you going to
+    be a prisoner here until this young idiot chooses to go home?  It's
+    preposterous!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    He crammed his hat on firmly and set out in pursuit of Mr. Hurst, who was
+    walking slowly up the street, glancing over his shoulder.  "Morning!"
+    said Mr. Mott, fiercely.  "Good morning," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Now, look here," said Mr. Mott.  "This has gone far enough, and I won't
+    have any more of it.  Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying
+    a young lady that doesn't want you.  Haven't you got any pride?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I don't believe you have," said the other, regarding him, "and I expect
+    that's where the trouble is.  Did she ever have reason to think you were
+    looking after any other girls?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Never, I swear it," said Mr. Hurst, eagerly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Just so," said Mr. Mott, with a satisfied nod.  "That's where you made a
+    mistake.  She was too sure of you; it was too easy.  No excitement.
+    Girls like a man that other girls want; they don't want a turtle-dove in
+    fancy trousers."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst coughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And they like a determined man," continued Miss Garland's uncle.  "Why,
+    in my young days, if I had been jilted, and come down to see about it,
+    d'you think I'd have gone out of the house without seeing her?  I might
+    have been put out&mdash;by half-a-dozen&mdash;but I'd have taken the mantelpiece
+    and a few other things with me.  And you are bigger than I am."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "We aren't all made the same," said Mr. Hurst, feebly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No, we're not," said Mr. Mott.  "I'm not blaming you; in a way, I'm
+    sorry for you.  If you're not born with a high spirit, nothing'll give it
+    to you."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It might be learnt," said Mr. Hurst.  Mr. Mott laughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "High spirits are born, not made," he said.  "The best thing you can do
+    is to go and find another girl, and marry her before she finds you out."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "There's no other girl for me," he said, miserably.  "And everything
+    seemed to be going so well.  We've been buying things for the house for
+    the last six months, and I've just got a good rise in my screw."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It'll do for another girl," said Mr. Mott, briskly.  "Now, you get off
+    back to town.  You are worrying Florrie by staying here, and you are
+    doing no good to anybody.  Good-bye."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll walk back as far as the door with you," said Mr. Hurst.  "You've
+    done me good.  It's a pity I didn't meet you before."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Remember what I've told you, and you'll do well yet," he said, patting
+    the young man on the arm.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I will," said Mr. Hurst, and walked on by his side, deep in thought.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I can't ask you in," said Mr. Mott, jocularly, as he reached his door,
+    and turned the key in the lock.  "Good-bye."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Good-bye," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He grasped the other's outstretched hand, and with a violent jerk pulled
+    him into the street.  Then he pushed open the door, and, slipping into
+    the passage, passed hastily into the front room, closely followed by the
+    infuriated Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "What&mdash;what&mdash;what!" stammered that gentleman.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'm taking your tip," said Mr. Hurst, pale but determined.  "I'm going
+    to stay here until I have seen Florrie."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;you're a serpent," said Mr. Mott, struggling for breath.  "I&mdash;I'm
+    surprised at you.  You go out before you get hurt."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Not without the mantelpiece," said Mr. Hurst, with a distorted grin.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "A viper!" said Mr. Mott, with extreme bitterness.  "If you are not out
+    in two minutes I'll send for the police."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Florrie wouldn't like that," said Mr. Hurst.  "She's awfully particular
+    about what people think.  You just trot upstairs and tell her that a
+    gentleman wants to see her."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He threw himself into Mr. Mott's own particular easy chair, and, crossing
+    his knees, turned a deaf ear to the threats of that incensed gentleman.
+    Not until the latter had left the room did his features reveal the
+    timorousness of the soul within.  Muffled voices sounded from upstairs,
+    and it was evident that an argument of considerable length was in
+    progress.  It was also evident from the return of Mr. Mott alone that his
+    niece had had the best of it.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I've done all I could," he said, "but she declines to see you.  She says
+    she won't see you if you stay here for a month, and you couldn't do that,
+    you know."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Why not?" inquired Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Why not?" repeated Mr. Mott, repressing his feelings with some
+    difficulty. "Food!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst started.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And drink," said Mr. Mott, following up his advantage.  "There's no good
+    in starving yourself for nothing, so you may as well go."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "When I've seen Florrie," said the young man, firmly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott slammed the door, and for the rest of the day Mr. Hurst saw him
+    no more.  At one o'clock a savoury smell passed the door on its way
+    upstairs, and at five o'clock a middle-aged woman with an inane smile
+    looked into the room on her way aloft with a loaded tea-tray.  By supper-
+    time he was suffering considerably from hunger and thirst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    At ten o'clock he heard the footsteps of Mr. Mott descending the stairs.
+    The door opened an inch, and a gruff voice demanded to know whether he
+    was going to stay there all night.  Receiving a cheerful reply in the
+    affirmative, Mr. Mott secured the front door with considerable violence,
+    and went off to bed without another word.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He was awakened an hour or two later by the sound of something falling,
+    and, sitting up in bed to listen, became aware of a warm and agreeable
+    odour.  It was somewhere about the hour of midnight, but a breakfast
+    smell of eggs and bacon would not be denied.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He put on some clothes and went downstairs.  A crack of light showed
+    under the kitchen door, and, pushing it open with some force, he gazed
+    spellbound at the spectacle before him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Come in," said Mr. Hurst, heartily.  "I've just finished."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He rocked an empty beer-bottle and patted another that was half full.
+    Satiety was written on his face as he pushed an empty plate from him,
+    and, leaning back in his chair, smiled lazily at Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Go on," said that gentleman, hoarsely.  Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Enough is as good as a feast," he said, reasonably.  "I'll have some
+    more to-morrow."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Oh, will you?"  said the other.  "Will you?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst nodded, and, opening his coat, disclosed a bottle of beer in
+    each breast-pocket.  The other pockets, it appeared, contained food.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And here's the money for it," he said, putting down some silver on the
+    table.  "I am determined, but honest."
+</p>
+<p>
+    With a sweep of his hand, Mr. Mott sent the money flying.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "To-morrow morning I send for the police.  Mind that!"  he roared.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'd better have my breakfast early, then," said Mr. Hurst, tapping his
+    pockets.  "Good night.  And thank you for your advice."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He sat for some time after the disappearance of his host, and then,
+    returning to the front room, placed a chair at the end of the sofa and,
+    with the tablecloth for a quilt, managed to secure a few hours' troubled
+    sleep.  At eight o'clock he washed at the scullery sink, and at ten
+    o'clock Mr. Mott, with an air of great determination, came in to deliver
+    his ultimatum.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you're not outside the front door in five minutes, I'm going to fetch
+    the police," he said, fiercely.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I want to see Florrie," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, you won't see her," shouted Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst stood feeling his chin.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, would you mind taking a message for me?" he asked.  "I just want
+    you to ask her whether I am really free.  Ask her whether I am free to
+    marry again."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott eyed him in amazement.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You see, I only heard from her mother," pursued Mr. Hurst, "and a friend
+    of mine who is in a solicitor's office says that isn't good enough.  I
+    only came down here to make sure, and I think the least she can do is to
+    tell me herself.  If she won't see me, perhaps she'd put it in writing.
+    You see, there's another lady."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "But" said the mystified Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You told me&mdash;&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You tell her that," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott stood for a few seconds staring at him, and then without a word
+    turned on his heel and went upstairs.  Left to himself, Mr. Hurst walked
+    nervously up and down the room, and, catching sight of his face in the
+    old-fashioned glass on the mantel-piece, heightened its colour by a few
+    pinches.  The minutes seemed inter-minable, but at last he heard the
+    steps of Mr. Mott on the stairs again.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She's coming down to see you herself," said the latter, solemnly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst nodded, and, turning to the window, tried in vain to take an
+    interest in passing events.  A light step sounded on the stairs, the door
+    creaked, and he turned to find himself con-fronted by Miss Garland.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Uncle told me" she began, coldly.  Mr. Hurst bowed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble," he said, trying to
+    control his voice, "but you see my position, don't you?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No," said the girl.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, I wanted to make sure," said Mr. Hurst.  "It's best for all of us,
+    isn't it?  Best for you, best for me, and, of course, for my young lady."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You never said anything about her before," said Miss Garland, her eyes
+    darkening.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Of course not," said Mr. Hurst.  "How could I?  I was engaged to you,
+    and then she wasn't my young lady; but, of course, as soon as you broke
+    it off&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Who is she?" inquired Miss Garland, in a casual voice.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You don't know her," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "What is she like?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I can't describe her very well," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can only say she's
+    the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  I think that's what made me
+    take to her.  And she's easily pleased.  She liked the things I have been
+    buying for the house tremendously."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Did she?" said Miss Garland, with a gasp.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "All except that pair of vases you chose," continued the veracious Mr.
+    Hurst.  "She says they are in bad taste, but she can give them to the
+    charwoman."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Oh!" said the girl.  "Oh, indeed!  Very kind of her.  Isn't there
+    anything else she doesn't like?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst stood considering.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't like the upholstering of the best chairs," he said at last.
+    "She thinks they are too showy, so she's going to put covers over them."
+</p>
+<p>
+    There was a long pause, during which Mr. Mott, taking his niece gently by
+    the arm, assisted her to a chair.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Otherwise she is quite satisfied," concluded Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland took a deep breath, but made no reply.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have got to satisfy her that I am free," said the young man, after
+    another pause.  "I suppose that I can do so?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I&mdash;I'll think it over," said Miss Garland, in a low voice.  "I am not
+    sure what is the right thing to do.  I don't want to see you made
+    miserable for life.  It's nothing to me, of course, but still&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    She got up and, shaking off the proffered assistance of her uncle, went
+    slowly and languidly up to her room.  Mr. Mott followed her as far as the
+    door, and then turned indignantly upon Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;you've broke her heart," he said, solemnly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "That's all right," said Mr. Hurst, with a delighted wink.  "I'll mend it
+    again."

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the

+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+DEEP WATERS
+
+By W.W. JACOBS
+
+
+
+
+MADE TO MEASURE
+
+Mr. Mott brought his niece home from the station with considerable pride.
+Although he had received a photograph to assist identification, he had
+been very dubious about accosting the pretty, well-dressed girl who had
+stepped from the train and gazed around with dove-like eyes in search of
+him.  Now he was comfortably conscious of the admiring gaze of his
+younger fellow-townsmen.
+
+"You'll find it a bit dull after London, I expect," he remarked, as he
+inserted his key in the door of a small house in a quiet street.
+
+"I'm tired of London," said Miss Garland.  "I think this is a beautiful
+little old town--so peaceful."
+
+Mr. Mott looked gratified.
+
+"I hope you'll stay a long time," he said, as he led the way into the
+small front room.  "I'm a lonely old man."
+
+His niece sank into an easy chair, and looked about her.
+
+"Thank you," she said, slowly.  "I hope I shall.  I feel better already.
+There is so much to upset one in London."
+
+"Noise?" queried Mr. Mott.
+
+"And other things," said Miss Garland, with a slight shudder.
+
+Mr. Mott sighed in sympathy with the unknown, and, judging by his niece's
+expression, the unknowable.  He rearranged the teacups, and, going to the
+kitchen, returned in a few minutes with a pot of tea.
+
+"Mrs. Pett leaves at three," he said, in explanation, "to look after her
+children, but she comes back again at eight to look after my supper.  And
+how is your mother?"
+
+Miss Garland told him.
+
+"Last letter I had from her," said Mr. Mott, stealing a glance at the
+girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged."
+
+His niece drew herself up.
+
+"Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour.  "I have seen too
+much of married life.  I prefer my freedom.  Besides, I don't like men."
+
+Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the
+subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
+Miss Garland's taste, it seemed, lay in the direction of hospital
+nursing, or some other occupation beneficial to mankind at large.  Simple
+and demure, she filled the simpler Mr. Mott with a strong sense of the
+shortcomings of his unworthy sex.
+
+Within two days, under the darkling glance of Mrs. Pett, she had altered
+the arrangements of the house.  Flowers appeared on the meal-table,
+knives and forks were properly cleaned, and plates no longer appeared
+ornamented with the mustard of a previous meal.  Fresh air circulated
+through the house, and, passing from Mrs. Pett's left knee to the lumbar
+region of Mr. Mott, went on its beneficent way rejoicing.
+
+On the fifth day of her visit, Mr. Mott sat alone in the front parlour.
+The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an
+easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door
+opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing
+awkwardly in the doorway.
+
+"Is Miss Garland in?"  he stammered.
+
+Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids.
+
+"She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
+
+The young man stood fingering his hat.
+
+"My name is Hurst," he said, with slight emphasis.  "Mr. Alfred Hurst."
+
+Mr. Mott, still somewhat confused, murmured that he was glad to hear it.
+
+"I have come from London to see Florrie," continued the intruder.  "I
+suppose she won't be long?"
+
+Mr. Mott thought not, and after a moment's hesitation invited Mr. Hurst
+to take a chair.
+
+"I suppose she told you we are engaged?"  said the latter.
+
+"Engaged!" said the startled Mr. Mott.  "Why, she told me she didn't like
+men."
+
+"Playfulness," replied Mr. Hurst, with an odd look.  "Ah, here she is!"
+
+The handle of the front door turned, and a moment later the door of the
+room was opened and the charming head of Miss Garland appeared in the
+opening.
+
+"Back again," she said, brightly.  "I've just been----"
+
+She caught sight of Mr. Hurst, and the words died away on her lips.  The
+door slammed, and the two gentlemen, exchanging glances, heard a hurried
+rush upstairs and the slamming of another door.  Also a key was heard to
+turn sharply in a lock.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," said Mr. Mott, staring.
+
+The young man turned pale.
+
+"Perhaps she has gone upstairs to take her things off," he muttered,
+resuming his seat.  "Don't--don't hurry her!"
+
+"I wasn't going to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He twisted his beard uneasily, and at the end of ten minutes looked from
+the clock to Mr. Hurst and coughed.
+
+"If you wouldn't mind letting her know I'm waiting," said the young man,
+brokenly.
+
+Mr. Mott rose, and went slowly upstairs.  More slowly still, after an
+interval of a few minutes, he came back again.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," he said, slowly.
+
+Mr. Hurst gasped.
+
+"I--I must see her," he faltered.
+
+"She won't see you," repeated Mr. Mott.  "And she told me to say she was
+surprised at you following her down here."
+
+Mr. Hurst uttered a faint moan, and with bent head passed into the little
+passage and out into the street, leaving Mr. Mott to return to the
+sitting-room and listen to such explanations as Miss Garland deemed
+advisable.  Great goodness of heart in the face of persistent and
+unwelcome attentions appeared to be responsible for the late engagement.
+
+"Well, it's over now," said her uncle, kindly, "and no doubt he'll soon
+find somebody else.  There are plenty of girls would jump at him, I
+expect."
+
+Miss Garland shook her head.
+
+"He said he couldn't live without me," she remarked, soberly.
+
+Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"In less than three months I expect he'll be congratulating himself," he
+said, cheerfully.  "Why, I was nearly cau--married, four times.  It's a
+silly age."
+
+His niece said "Indeed!" and, informing him in somewhat hostile tones
+that she was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her room.
+
+Mr. Mott spent the evening by himself, and retiring to bed at ten-thirty
+was awakened by a persistent knocking at the front door at half-past one.
+Half awakened, he lit a candle, and, stumbling downstairs, drew back the
+bolt of the door, and stood gaping angrily at the pathetic features of
+Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Sorry to disturb you," said the young man, "but would you mind giving
+this letter to Miss Garland?"
+
+"Sorry to disturb me!" stuttered Mr. Mott.  "What do you mean by it?  Eh?
+What do you mean by it?"
+
+"It is important," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can't rest.  I've eaten nothing
+all day."
+
+"Glad to hear it," snapped the irritated Mr. Mott.
+
+"If you will give her that letter, I shall feel easier," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"I'll give it to her in the morning," said the other, snatching it from
+him.  "Now get off."
+
+Mr. Hurst still murmuring apologies, went, and Mr. Mott, also murmuring,
+returned to bed.  The night was chilly, and it was some time before he
+could get to sleep again.  He succeeded at last, only to be awakened an
+hour later by a knocking more violent than before.  In a state of mind
+bordering upon frenzy, he dived into his trousers again and went
+blundering downstairs in the dark.
+
+"Sorry to--" began Mr. Hurst.
+
+Mr. Mott made uncouth noises at him.
+
+"I have altered my mind," said the young man.  "Would you mind letting me
+have that letter back again?  It was too final."
+
+"You--get--off !"  said the other, trembling with cold and passion.
+
+"I must have that letter," said Mr. Hurst, doggedly.  "All my future
+happiness may depend upon it."
+
+Mr. Mott, afraid to trust himself with speech, dashed upstairs, and after
+a search for the matches found the letter, and, returning to the front
+door, shut it on the visitor's thanks.  His niece's door opened as he
+passed it, and a gentle voice asked for enlightenment.
+
+"How silly of him!"  she said, softly.  "I hope he won't catch cold.
+What did you say?"
+
+"I was coughing," said Mr. Mott, hastily.
+
+"You'll get cold if you're not careful," said his thoughtful niece.
+"That's the worst of men, they never seem to have any thought.  Did he
+seem angry, or mournful, or what?  I suppose you couldn't see his face?"
+
+"I didn't try," said Mr. Mott, crisply.  "Good night."
+
+By the morning his ill-humour had vanished, and he even became slightly
+facetious over the events of the night.  The mood passed at the same
+moment that Mr. Hurst passed the window.
+
+"Better have him in and get it over," he said, irritably.
+
+Miss Garland shuddered.
+
+"Never!" she said, firmly.  "He'd be down on his knees.  It would be too
+painful.  You don't know him."
+
+"Don't want to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He finished his breakfast in silence, and, after a digestive pipe,
+proposed a walk.  The profile of Mr. Hurst, as it went forlornly past the
+window again, served to illustrate Miss Garland's refusal.
+
+"I'll go out and see him," said Mr. Mott, starting up.  "Are you going to
+be a prisoner here until this young idiot chooses to go home?  It's
+preposterous!"
+
+He crammed his hat on firmly and set out in pursuit of Mr. Hurst, who was
+walking slowly up the street, glancing over his shoulder.  "Morning!"
+said Mr. Mott, fiercely.  "Good morning," said the other.
+
+"Now, look here," said Mr. Mott.  "This has gone far enough, and I won't
+have any more of it.  Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying
+a young lady that doesn't want you.  Haven't you got any pride?"
+
+"No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
+
+"I don't believe you have," said the other, regarding him, "and I expect
+that's where the trouble is.  Did she ever have reason to think you were
+looking after any other girls?"
+
+"Never, I swear it," said Mr. Hurst, eagerly.
+
+"Just so," said Mr. Mott, with a satisfied nod.  "That's where you made a
+mistake.  She was too sure of you; it was too easy.  No excitement.
+Girls like a man that other girls want; they don't want a turtle-dove in
+fancy trousers."
+
+Mr. Hurst coughed.
+
+"And they like a determined man," continued Miss Garland's uncle.  "Why,
+in my young days, if I had been jilted, and come down to see about it,
+d'you think I'd have gone out of the house without seeing her?  I might
+have been put out--by half-a-dozen--but I'd have taken the mantelpiece
+and a few other things with me.  And you are bigger than I am."
+
+"We aren't all made the same," said Mr. Hurst, feebly.
+
+"No, we're not," said Mr. Mott.  "I'm not blaming you; in a way, I'm
+sorry for you.  If you're not born with a high spirit, nothing'll give it
+to you."
+
+"It might be learnt," said Mr. Hurst.  Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"High spirits are born, not made," he said.  "The best thing you can do
+is to go and find another girl, and marry her before she finds you out."
+
+Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"There's no other girl for me," he said, miserably.  "And everything
+seemed to be going so well.  We've been buying things for the house for
+the last six months, and I've just got a good rise in my screw."
+
+"It'll do for another girl," said Mr. Mott, briskly.  "Now, you get off
+back to town.  You are worrying Florrie by staying here, and you are
+doing no good to anybody.  Good-bye."
+
+"I'll walk back as far as the door with you," said Mr. Hurst.  "You've
+done me good.  It's a pity I didn't meet you before."
+
+"Remember what I've told you, and you'll do well yet," he said, patting
+the young man on the arm.
+
+"I will," said Mr. Hurst, and walked on by his side, deep in thought.
+
+"I can't ask you in," said Mr. Mott, jocularly, as he reached his door,
+and turned the key in the lock.  "Good-bye."
+
+"Good-bye," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+He grasped the other's outstretched hand, and with a violent jerk pulled
+him into the street.  Then he pushed open the door, and, slipping into
+the passage, passed hastily into the front room, closely followed by the
+infuriated Mr. Mott.
+
+"What--what--what!" stammered that gentleman.
+
+"I'm taking your tip," said Mr. Hurst, pale but determined.  "I'm going
+to stay here until I have seen Florrie."
+
+"You--you're a serpent," said Mr. Mott, struggling for breath.  "I--I'm
+surprised at you.  You go out before you get hurt."
+
+"Not without the mantelpiece," said Mr. Hurst, with a distorted grin.
+
+"A viper!" said Mr. Mott, with extreme bitterness.  "If you are not out
+in two minutes I'll send for the police."
+
+"Florrie wouldn't like that," said Mr. Hurst.  "She's awfully particular
+about what people think.  You just trot upstairs and tell her that a
+gentleman wants to see her."
+
+He threw himself into Mr. Mott's own particular easy chair, and, crossing
+his knees, turned a deaf ear to the threats of that incensed gentleman.
+Not until the latter had left the room did his features reveal the
+timorousness of the soul within.  Muffled voices sounded from upstairs,
+and it was evident that an argument of considerable length was in
+progress.  It was also evident from the return of Mr. Mott alone that his
+niece had had the best of it.
+
+"I've done all I could," he said, "but she declines to see you.  She says
+she won't see you if you stay here for a month, and you couldn't do that,
+you know."
+
+"Why not?" inquired Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Why not?" repeated Mr. Mott, repressing his feelings with some
+difficulty. "Food!"
+
+Mr. Hurst started.
+
+"And drink," said Mr. Mott, following up his advantage.  "There's no good
+in starving yourself for nothing, so you may as well go."
+
+"When I've seen Florrie," said the young man, firmly.
+
+Mr. Mott slammed the door, and for the rest of the day Mr. Hurst saw him
+no more.  At one o'clock a savoury smell passed the door on its way
+upstairs, and at five o'clock a middle-aged woman with an inane smile
+looked into the room on her way aloft with a loaded tea-tray.  By supper-
+time he was suffering considerably from hunger and thirst.
+
+At ten o'clock he heard the footsteps of Mr. Mott descending the stairs.
+The door opened an inch, and a gruff voice demanded to know whether he
+was going to stay there all night.  Receiving a cheerful reply in the
+affirmative, Mr. Mott secured the front door with considerable violence,
+and went off to bed without another word.
+
+He was awakened an hour or two later by the sound of something falling,
+and, sitting up in bed to listen, became aware of a warm and agreeable
+odour.  It was somewhere about the hour of midnight, but a breakfast
+smell of eggs and bacon would not be denied.
+
+He put on some clothes and went downstairs.  A crack of light showed
+under the kitchen door, and, pushing it open with some force, he gazed
+spellbound at the spectacle before him.
+
+"Come in," said Mr. Hurst, heartily.  "I've just finished."
+
+He rocked an empty beer-bottle and patted another that was half full.
+Satiety was written on his face as he pushed an empty plate from him,
+and, leaning back in his chair, smiled lazily at Mr. Mott.
+
+"Go on," said that gentleman, hoarsely.  Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"Enough is as good as a feast," he said, reasonably.  "I'll have some
+more to-morrow."
+
+"Oh, will you?"  said the other.  "Will you?"
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, opening his coat, disclosed a bottle of beer in
+each breast-pocket.  The other pockets, it appeared, contained food.
+
+"And here's the money for it," he said, putting down some silver on the
+table.  "I am determined, but honest."
+
+With a sweep of his hand, Mr. Mott sent the money flying.
+
+"To-morrow morning I send for the police.  Mind that!"  he roared.
+
+"I'd better have my breakfast early, then," said Mr. Hurst, tapping his
+pockets.  "Good night.  And thank you for your advice."
+
+He sat for some time after the disappearance of his host, and then,
+returning to the front room, placed a chair at the end of the sofa and,
+with the tablecloth for a quilt, managed to secure a few hours' troubled
+sleep.  At eight o'clock he washed at the scullery sink, and at ten
+o'clock Mr. Mott, with an air of great determination, came in to deliver
+his ultimatum.
+
+"If you're not outside the front door in five minutes, I'm going to fetch
+the police," he said, fiercely.
+
+"I want to see Florrie," said the other.
+
+"Well, you won't see her," shouted Mr. Mott.
+
+Mr. Hurst stood feeling his chin.
+
+"Well, would you mind taking a message for me?" he asked.  "I just want
+you to ask her whether I am really free.  Ask her whether I am free to
+marry again."
+
+Mr. Mott eyed him in amazement.
+
+"You see, I only heard from her mother," pursued Mr. Hurst, "and a friend
+of mine who is in a solicitor's office says that isn't good enough.  I
+only came down here to make sure, and I think the least she can do is to
+tell me herself.  If she won't see me, perhaps she'd put it in writing.
+You see, there's another lady."
+
+"But" said the mystified Mr. Mott.
+
+"You told me----"
+
+"You tell her that," said the other.
+
+Mr. Mott stood for a few seconds staring at him, and then without a word
+turned on his heel and went upstairs.  Left to himself, Mr. Hurst walked
+nervously up and down the room, and, catching sight of his face in the
+old-fashioned glass on the mantel-piece, heightened its colour by a few
+pinches.  The minutes seemed inter-minable, but at last he heard the
+steps of Mr. Mott on the stairs again.
+
+"She's coming down to see you herself," said the latter, solemnly.
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, turning to the window, tried in vain to take an
+interest in passing events.  A light step sounded on the stairs, the door
+creaked, and he turned to find himself con-fronted by Miss Garland.
+
+"Uncle told me" she began, coldly.  Mr. Hurst bowed.
+
+"I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble," he said, trying to
+control his voice, "but you see my position, don't you?"
+
+"No," said the girl.
+
+"Well, I wanted to make sure," said Mr. Hurst.  "It's best for all of us,
+isn't it?  Best for you, best for me, and, of course, for my young lady."
+
+"You never said anything about her before," said Miss Garland, her eyes
+darkening.
+
+"Of course not," said Mr. Hurst.  "How could I?  I was engaged to you,
+and then she wasn't my young lady; but, of course, as soon as you broke
+it off--"
+
+"Who is she?" inquired Miss Garland, in a casual voice.
+
+"You don't know her," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"What is she like?"
+
+"I can't describe her very well," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can only say she's
+the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  I think that's what made me
+take to her.  And she's easily pleased.  She liked the things I have been
+buying for the house tremendously."
+
+"Did she?" said Miss Garland, with a gasp.
+
+"All except that pair of vases you chose," continued the veracious Mr.
+Hurst.  "She says they are in bad taste, but she can give them to the
+charwoman."
+
+"Oh!" said the girl.  "Oh, indeed!  Very kind of her.  Isn't there
+anything else she doesn't like?"
+
+Mr. Hurst stood considering.
+
+"She doesn't like the upholstering of the best chairs," he said at last.
+"She thinks they are too showy, so she's going to put covers over them."
+
+There was a long pause, during which Mr. Mott, taking his niece gently by
+the arm, assisted her to a chair.
+
+"Otherwise she is quite satisfied," concluded Mr. Hurst.
+
+Miss Garland took a deep breath, but made no reply.
+
+"I have got to satisfy her that I am free," said the young man, after
+another pause.  "I suppose that I can do so?"
+
+"I--I'll think it over," said Miss Garland, in a low voice.  "I am not
+sure what is the right thing to do.  I don't want to see you made
+miserable for life.  It's nothing to me, of course, but still--"
+
+She got up and, shaking off the proffered assistance of her uncle, went
+slowly and languidly up to her room.  Mr. Mott followed her as far as the
+door, and then turned indignantly upon Mr. Hurst.
+
+"You--you've broke her heart," he said, solemnly.
+
+"That's all right," said Mr. Hurst, with a delighted wink.  "I'll mend it
+again."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+<h1>
+    MADE TO MEASURE
+</h1>
+<br /><br />
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott brought his niece home from the station with considerable pride.
+    Although he had received a photograph to assist identification, he had
+    been very dubious about accosting the pretty, well-dressed girl who had
+    stepped from the train and gazed around with dove-like eyes in search of
+    him.  Now he was comfortably conscious of the admiring gaze of his
+    younger fellow-townsmen.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You'll find it a bit dull after London, I expect," he remarked, as he
+    inserted his key in the door of a small house in a quiet street.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'm tired of London," said Miss Garland.  "I think this is a beautiful
+    little old town&mdash;so peaceful."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott looked gratified.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I hope you'll stay a long time," he said, as he led the way into the
+    small front room.  "I'm a lonely old man."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece sank into an easy chair, and looked about her.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Thank you," she said, slowly.  "I hope I shall.  I feel better already.
+    There is so much to upset one in London."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Noise?" queried Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And other things," said Miss Garland, with a slight shudder.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott sighed in sympathy with the unknown, and, judging by his niece's
+    expression, the unknowable.  He rearranged the teacups, and, going to the
+    kitchen, returned in a few minutes with a pot of tea.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Mrs. Pett leaves at three," he said, in explanation, "to look after her
+    children, but she comes back again at eight to look after my supper.  And
+    how is your mother?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland told him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Last letter I had from her," said Mr. Mott, stealing a glance at the
+    girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece drew herself up.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour.  "I have seen too
+    much of married life.  I prefer my freedom.  Besides, I don't like men."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the
+    subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
+    Miss Garland's taste, it seemed, lay in the direction of hospital
+    nursing, or some other occupation beneficial to mankind at large.  Simple
+    and demure, she filled the simpler Mr. Mott with a strong sense of the
+    shortcomings of his unworthy sex.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Within two days, under the darkling glance of Mrs. Pett, she had altered
+    the arrangements of the house.  Flowers appeared on the meal-table,
+    knives and forks were properly cleaned, and plates no longer appeared
+    ornamented with the mustard of a previous meal.  Fresh air circulated
+    through the house, and, passing from Mrs. Pett's left knee to the lumbar
+    region of Mr. Mott, went on its beneficent way rejoicing.
+</p>
+<p>
+    On the fifth day of her visit, Mr. Mott sat alone in the front parlour.
+    The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an
+    easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door
+    opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing
+    awkwardly in the doorway.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Is Miss Garland in?"  he stammered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The young man stood fingering his hat.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "My name is Hurst," he said, with slight emphasis.  "Mr. Alfred Hurst."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott, still somewhat confused, murmured that he was glad to hear it.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have come from London to see Florrie," continued the intruder.  "I
+    suppose she won't be long?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott thought not, and after a moment's hesitation invited Mr. Hurst
+    to take a chair.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I suppose she told you we are engaged?"  said the latter.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Engaged!" said the startled Mr. Mott.  "Why, she told me she didn't like
+    men."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Playfulness," replied Mr. Hurst, with an odd look.  "Ah, here she is!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    The handle of the front door turned, and a moment later the door of the
+    room was opened and the charming head of Miss Garland appeared in the
+    opening.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Back again," she said, brightly.  "I've just been&mdash;&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    She caught sight of Mr. Hurst, and the words died away on her lips.  The
+    door slammed, and the two gentlemen, exchanging glances, heard a hurried
+    rush upstairs and the slamming of another door.  Also a key was heard to
+    turn sharply in a lock.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't want to see you," said Mr. Mott, staring.
+</p>
+<p>
+    The young man turned pale.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Perhaps she has gone upstairs to take her things off," he muttered,
+    resuming his seat.  "Don't&mdash;don't hurry her!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I wasn't going to," said Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He twisted his beard uneasily, and at the end of ten minutes looked from
+    the clock to Mr. Hurst and coughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you wouldn't mind letting her know I'm waiting," said the young man,
+    brokenly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott rose, and went slowly upstairs.  More slowly still, after an
+    interval of a few minutes, he came back again.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't want to see you," he said, slowly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst gasped.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I&mdash;I must see her," he faltered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She won't see you," repeated Mr. Mott.  "And she told me to say she was
+    surprised at you following her down here."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst uttered a faint moan, and with bent head passed into the little
+    passage and out into the street, leaving Mr. Mott to return to the
+    sitting-room and listen to such explanations as Miss Garland deemed
+    advisable.  Great goodness of heart in the face of persistent and
+    unwelcome attentions appeared to be responsible for the late engagement.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, it's over now," said her uncle, kindly, "and no doubt he'll soon
+    find somebody else.  There are plenty of girls would jump at him, I
+    expect."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland shook her head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "He said he couldn't live without me," she remarked, soberly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott laughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "In less than three months I expect he'll be congratulating himself," he
+    said, cheerfully.  "Why, I was nearly cau&mdash;married, four times.  It's a
+    silly age."
+</p>
+<p>
+    His niece said "Indeed!" and, informing him in somewhat hostile tones
+    that she was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her room.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott spent the evening by himself, and retiring to bed at ten-thirty
+    was awakened by a persistent knocking at the front door at half-past one.
+    Half awakened, he lit a candle, and, stumbling downstairs, drew back the
+    bolt of the door, and stood gaping angrily at the pathetic features of
+    Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to disturb you," said the young man, "but would you mind giving
+    this letter to Miss Garland?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to disturb me!" stuttered Mr. Mott.  "What do you mean by it?  Eh?
+    What do you mean by it?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It is important," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can't rest.  I've eaten nothing
+    all day."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Glad to hear it," snapped the irritated Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you will give her that letter, I shall feel easier," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll give it to her in the morning," said the other, snatching it from
+    him.  "Now get off."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst still murmuring apologies, went, and Mr. Mott, also murmuring,
+    returned to bed.  The night was chilly, and it was some time before he
+    could get to sleep again.  He succeeded at last, only to be awakened an
+    hour later by a knocking more violent than before.  In a state of mind
+    bordering upon frenzy, he dived into his trousers again and went
+    blundering downstairs in the dark.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Sorry to&mdash;" began Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott made uncouth noises at him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have altered my mind," said the young man.  "Would you mind letting me
+    have that letter back again?  It was too final."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;get&mdash;off !"  said the other, trembling with cold and passion.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I must have that letter," said Mr. Hurst, doggedly.  "All my future
+    happiness may depend upon it."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott, afraid to trust himself with speech, dashed upstairs, and after
+    a search for the matches found the letter, and, returning to the front
+    door, shut it on the visitor's thanks.  His niece's door opened as he
+    passed it, and a gentle voice asked for enlightenment.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "How silly of him!"  she said, softly.  "I hope he won't catch cold.
+    What did you say?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I was coughing," said Mr. Mott, hastily.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You'll get cold if you're not careful," said his thoughtful niece.
+    "That's the worst of men, they never seem to have any thought.  Did he
+    seem angry, or mournful, or what?  I suppose you couldn't see his face?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I didn't try," said Mr. Mott, crisply.  "Good night."
+</p>
+<p>
+    By the morning his ill-humour had vanished, and he even became slightly
+    facetious over the events of the night.  The mood passed at the same
+    moment that Mr. Hurst passed the window.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Better have him in and get it over," he said, irritably.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland shuddered.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Never!" she said, firmly.  "He'd be down on his knees.  It would be too
+    painful.  You don't know him."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Don't want to," said Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He finished his breakfast in silence, and, after a digestive pipe,
+    proposed a walk.  The profile of Mr. Hurst, as it went forlornly past the
+    window again, served to illustrate Miss Garland's refusal.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll go out and see him," said Mr. Mott, starting up.  "Are you going to
+    be a prisoner here until this young idiot chooses to go home?  It's
+    preposterous!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    He crammed his hat on firmly and set out in pursuit of Mr. Hurst, who was
+    walking slowly up the street, glancing over his shoulder.  "Morning!"
+    said Mr. Mott, fiercely.  "Good morning," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Now, look here," said Mr. Mott.  "This has gone far enough, and I won't
+    have any more of it.  Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying
+    a young lady that doesn't want you.  Haven't you got any pride?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I don't believe you have," said the other, regarding him, "and I expect
+    that's where the trouble is.  Did she ever have reason to think you were
+    looking after any other girls?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Never, I swear it," said Mr. Hurst, eagerly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Just so," said Mr. Mott, with a satisfied nod.  "That's where you made a
+    mistake.  She was too sure of you; it was too easy.  No excitement.
+    Girls like a man that other girls want; they don't want a turtle-dove in
+    fancy trousers."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst coughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And they like a determined man," continued Miss Garland's uncle.  "Why,
+    in my young days, if I had been jilted, and come down to see about it,
+    d'you think I'd have gone out of the house without seeing her?  I might
+    have been put out&mdash;by half-a-dozen&mdash;but I'd have taken the mantelpiece
+    and a few other things with me.  And you are bigger than I am."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "We aren't all made the same," said Mr. Hurst, feebly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No, we're not," said Mr. Mott.  "I'm not blaming you; in a way, I'm
+    sorry for you.  If you're not born with a high spirit, nothing'll give it
+    to you."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It might be learnt," said Mr. Hurst.  Mr. Mott laughed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "High spirits are born, not made," he said.  "The best thing you can do
+    is to go and find another girl, and marry her before she finds you out."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "There's no other girl for me," he said, miserably.  "And everything
+    seemed to be going so well.  We've been buying things for the house for
+    the last six months, and I've just got a good rise in my screw."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "It'll do for another girl," said Mr. Mott, briskly.  "Now, you get off
+    back to town.  You are worrying Florrie by staying here, and you are
+    doing no good to anybody.  Good-bye."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'll walk back as far as the door with you," said Mr. Hurst.  "You've
+    done me good.  It's a pity I didn't meet you before."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Remember what I've told you, and you'll do well yet," he said, patting
+    the young man on the arm.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I will," said Mr. Hurst, and walked on by his side, deep in thought.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I can't ask you in," said Mr. Mott, jocularly, as he reached his door,
+    and turned the key in the lock.  "Good-bye."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Good-bye," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He grasped the other's outstretched hand, and with a violent jerk pulled
+    him into the street.  Then he pushed open the door, and, slipping into
+    the passage, passed hastily into the front room, closely followed by the
+    infuriated Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "What&mdash;what&mdash;what!" stammered that gentleman.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'm taking your tip," said Mr. Hurst, pale but determined.  "I'm going
+    to stay here until I have seen Florrie."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;you're a serpent," said Mr. Mott, struggling for breath.  "I&mdash;I'm
+    surprised at you.  You go out before you get hurt."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Not without the mantelpiece," said Mr. Hurst, with a distorted grin.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "A viper!" said Mr. Mott, with extreme bitterness.  "If you are not out
+    in two minutes I'll send for the police."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Florrie wouldn't like that," said Mr. Hurst.  "She's awfully particular
+    about what people think.  You just trot upstairs and tell her that a
+    gentleman wants to see her."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He threw himself into Mr. Mott's own particular easy chair, and, crossing
+    his knees, turned a deaf ear to the threats of that incensed gentleman.
+    Not until the latter had left the room did his features reveal the
+    timorousness of the soul within.  Muffled voices sounded from upstairs,
+    and it was evident that an argument of considerable length was in
+    progress.  It was also evident from the return of Mr. Mott alone that his
+    niece had had the best of it.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I've done all I could," he said, "but she declines to see you.  She says
+    she won't see you if you stay here for a month, and you couldn't do that,
+    you know."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Why not?" inquired Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Why not?" repeated Mr. Mott, repressing his feelings with some
+    difficulty. "Food!"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst started.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And drink," said Mr. Mott, following up his advantage.  "There's no good
+    in starving yourself for nothing, so you may as well go."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "When I've seen Florrie," said the young man, firmly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott slammed the door, and for the rest of the day Mr. Hurst saw him
+    no more.  At one o'clock a savoury smell passed the door on its way
+    upstairs, and at five o'clock a middle-aged woman with an inane smile
+    looked into the room on her way aloft with a loaded tea-tray.  By supper-
+    time he was suffering considerably from hunger and thirst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    At ten o'clock he heard the footsteps of Mr. Mott descending the stairs.
+    The door opened an inch, and a gruff voice demanded to know whether he
+    was going to stay there all night.  Receiving a cheerful reply in the
+    affirmative, Mr. Mott secured the front door with considerable violence,
+    and went off to bed without another word.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He was awakened an hour or two later by the sound of something falling,
+    and, sitting up in bed to listen, became aware of a warm and agreeable
+    odour.  It was somewhere about the hour of midnight, but a breakfast
+    smell of eggs and bacon would not be denied.
+</p>
+<p>
+    He put on some clothes and went downstairs.  A crack of light showed
+    under the kitchen door, and, pushing it open with some force, he gazed
+    spellbound at the spectacle before him.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Come in," said Mr. Hurst, heartily.  "I've just finished."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He rocked an empty beer-bottle and patted another that was half full.
+    Satiety was written on his face as he pushed an empty plate from him,
+    and, leaning back in his chair, smiled lazily at Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Go on," said that gentleman, hoarsely.  Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Enough is as good as a feast," he said, reasonably.  "I'll have some
+    more to-morrow."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Oh, will you?"  said the other.  "Will you?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst nodded, and, opening his coat, disclosed a bottle of beer in
+    each breast-pocket.  The other pockets, it appeared, contained food.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "And here's the money for it," he said, putting down some silver on the
+    table.  "I am determined, but honest."
+</p>
+<p>
+    With a sweep of his hand, Mr. Mott sent the money flying.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "To-morrow morning I send for the police.  Mind that!"  he roared.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I'd better have my breakfast early, then," said Mr. Hurst, tapping his
+    pockets.  "Good night.  And thank you for your advice."
+</p>
+<p>
+    He sat for some time after the disappearance of his host, and then,
+    returning to the front room, placed a chair at the end of the sofa and,
+    with the tablecloth for a quilt, managed to secure a few hours' troubled
+    sleep.  At eight o'clock he washed at the scullery sink, and at ten
+    o'clock Mr. Mott, with an air of great determination, came in to deliver
+    his ultimatum.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "If you're not outside the front door in five minutes, I'm going to fetch
+    the police," he said, fiercely.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I want to see Florrie," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, you won't see her," shouted Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst stood feeling his chin.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, would you mind taking a message for me?" he asked.  "I just want
+    you to ask her whether I am really free.  Ask her whether I am free to
+    marry again."
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott eyed him in amazement.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You see, I only heard from her mother," pursued Mr. Hurst, "and a friend
+    of mine who is in a solicitor's office says that isn't good enough.  I
+    only came down here to make sure, and I think the least she can do is to
+    tell me herself.  If she won't see me, perhaps she'd put it in writing.
+    You see, there's another lady."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "But" said the mystified Mr. Mott.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You told me&mdash;&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You tell her that," said the other.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Mott stood for a few seconds staring at him, and then without a word
+    turned on his heel and went upstairs.  Left to himself, Mr. Hurst walked
+    nervously up and down the room, and, catching sight of his face in the
+    old-fashioned glass on the mantel-piece, heightened its colour by a few
+    pinches.  The minutes seemed inter-minable, but at last he heard the
+    steps of Mr. Mott on the stairs again.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She's coming down to see you herself," said the latter, solemnly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst nodded, and, turning to the window, tried in vain to take an
+    interest in passing events.  A light step sounded on the stairs, the door
+    creaked, and he turned to find himself con-fronted by Miss Garland.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Uncle told me" she began, coldly.  Mr. Hurst bowed.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble," he said, trying to
+    control his voice, "but you see my position, don't you?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "No," said the girl.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Well, I wanted to make sure," said Mr. Hurst.  "It's best for all of us,
+    isn't it?  Best for you, best for me, and, of course, for my young lady."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You never said anything about her before," said Miss Garland, her eyes
+    darkening.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Of course not," said Mr. Hurst.  "How could I?  I was engaged to you,
+    and then she wasn't my young lady; but, of course, as soon as you broke
+    it off&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Who is she?" inquired Miss Garland, in a casual voice.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You don't know her," said Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "What is she like?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I can't describe her very well," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can only say she's
+    the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  I think that's what made me
+    take to her.  And she's easily pleased.  She liked the things I have been
+    buying for the house tremendously."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Did she?" said Miss Garland, with a gasp.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "All except that pair of vases you chose," continued the veracious Mr.
+    Hurst.  "She says they are in bad taste, but she can give them to the
+    charwoman."
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Oh!" said the girl.  "Oh, indeed!  Very kind of her.  Isn't there
+    anything else she doesn't like?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    Mr. Hurst stood considering.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "She doesn't like the upholstering of the best chairs," he said at last.
+    "She thinks they are too showy, so she's going to put covers over them."
+</p>
+<p>
+    There was a long pause, during which Mr. Mott, taking his niece gently by
+    the arm, assisted her to a chair.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "Otherwise she is quite satisfied," concluded Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Miss Garland took a deep breath, but made no reply.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I have got to satisfy her that I am free," said the young man, after
+    another pause.  "I suppose that I can do so?"
+</p>
+<p>
+    "I&mdash;I'll think it over," said Miss Garland, in a low voice.  "I am not
+    sure what is the right thing to do.  I don't want to see you made
+    miserable for life.  It's nothing to me, of course, but still&mdash;"
+</p>
+<p>
+    She got up and, shaking off the proffered assistance of her uncle, went
+    slowly and languidly up to her room.  Mr. Mott followed her as far as the
+    door, and then turned indignantly upon Mr. Hurst.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "You&mdash;you've broke her heart," he said, solemnly.
+</p>
+<p>
+    "That's all right," said Mr. Hurst, with a delighted wink.  "I'll mend it
+    again."

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689

+DEEP WATERS
+
+By W.W. JACOBS
+
+
+
+
+MADE TO MEASURE
+
+Mr. Mott brought his niece home from the station with considerable pride.
+Although he had received a photograph to assist identification, he had
+been very dubious about accosting the pretty, well-dressed girl who had
+stepped from the train and gazed around with dove-like eyes in search of
+him.  Now he was comfortably conscious of the admiring gaze of his
+younger fellow-townsmen.
+
+"You'll find it a bit dull after London, I expect," he remarked, as he
+inserted his key in the door of a small house in a quiet street.
+
+"I'm tired of London," said Miss Garland.  "I think this is a beautiful
+little old town--so peaceful."
+
+Mr. Mott looked gratified.
+
+"I hope you'll stay a long time," he said, as he led the way into the
+small front room.  "I'm a lonely old man."
+
+His niece sank into an easy chair, and looked about her.
+
+"Thank you," she said, slowly.  "I hope I shall.  I feel better already.
+There is so much to upset one in London."
+
+"Noise?" queried Mr. Mott.
+
+"And other things," said Miss Garland, with a slight shudder.
+
+Mr. Mott sighed in sympathy with the unknown, and, judging by his niece's
+expression, the unknowable.  He rearranged the teacups, and, going to the
+kitchen, returned in a few minutes with a pot of tea.
+
+"Mrs. Pett leaves at three," he said, in explanation, "to look after her
+children, but she comes back again at eight to look after my supper.  And
+how is your mother?"
+
+Miss Garland told him.
+
+"Last letter I had from her," said Mr. Mott, stealing a glance at the
+girl's ring-finger, "I understood you were engaged."
+
+His niece drew herself up.
+
+"Certainly not," she said, with considerable vigour.  "I have seen too
+much of married life.  I prefer my freedom.  Besides, I don't like men."
+
+Mr. Mott said modestly that he didn't wonder at it, and, finding the
+subject uncongenial, turned the conversation on to worthier subjects.
+Miss Garland's taste, it seemed, lay in the direction of hospital
+nursing, or some other occupation beneficial to mankind at large.  Simple
+and demure, she filled the simpler Mr. Mott with a strong sense of the
+shortcomings of his unworthy sex.
+
+Within two days, under the darkling glance of Mrs. Pett, she had altered
+the arrangements of the house.  Flowers appeared on the meal-table,
+knives and forks were properly cleaned, and plates no longer appeared
+ornamented with the mustard of a previous meal.  Fresh air circulated
+through the house, and, passing from Mrs. Pett's left knee to the lumbar
+region of Mr. Mott, went on its beneficent way rejoicing.
+
+On the fifth day of her visit, Mr. Mott sat alone in the front parlour.
+The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an
+easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door
+opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing
+awkwardly in the doorway.
+
+"Is Miss Garland in?"  he stammered.
+
+Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids.
+
+"She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
+
+The young man stood fingering his hat.
+
+"My name is Hurst," he said, with slight emphasis.  "Mr. Alfred Hurst."
+
+Mr. Mott, still somewhat confused, murmured that he was glad to hear it.
+
+"I have come from London to see Florrie," continued the intruder.  "I
+suppose she won't be long?"
+
+Mr. Mott thought not, and after a moment's hesitation invited Mr. Hurst
+to take a chair.
+
+"I suppose she told you we are engaged?"  said the latter.
+
+"Engaged!" said the startled Mr. Mott.  "Why, she told me she didn't like
+men."
+
+"Playfulness," replied Mr. Hurst, with an odd look.  "Ah, here she is!"
+
+The handle of the front door turned, and a moment later the door of the
+room was opened and the charming head of Miss Garland appeared in the
+opening.
+
+"Back again," she said, brightly.  "I've just been----"
+
+She caught sight of Mr. Hurst, and the words died away on her lips.  The
+door slammed, and the two gentlemen, exchanging glances, heard a hurried
+rush upstairs and the slamming of another door.  Also a key was heard to
+turn sharply in a lock.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," said Mr. Mott, staring.
+
+The young man turned pale.
+
+"Perhaps she has gone upstairs to take her things off," he muttered,
+resuming his seat.  "Don't--don't hurry her!"
+
+"I wasn't going to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He twisted his beard uneasily, and at the end of ten minutes looked from
+the clock to Mr. Hurst and coughed.
+
+"If you wouldn't mind letting her know I'm waiting," said the young man,
+brokenly.
+
+Mr. Mott rose, and went slowly upstairs.  More slowly still, after an
+interval of a few minutes, he came back again.
+
+"She doesn't want to see you," he said, slowly.
+
+Mr. Hurst gasped.
+
+"I--I must see her," he faltered.
+
+"She won't see you," repeated Mr. Mott.  "And she told me to say she was
+surprised at you following her down here."
+
+Mr. Hurst uttered a faint moan, and with bent head passed into the little
+passage and out into the street, leaving Mr. Mott to return to the
+sitting-room and listen to such explanations as Miss Garland deemed
+advisable.  Great goodness of heart in the face of persistent and
+unwelcome attentions appeared to be responsible for the late engagement.
+
+"Well, it's over now," said her uncle, kindly, "and no doubt he'll soon
+find somebody else.  There are plenty of girls would jump at him, I
+expect."
+
+Miss Garland shook her head.
+
+"He said he couldn't live without me," she remarked, soberly.
+
+Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"In less than three months I expect he'll be congratulating himself," he
+said, cheerfully.  "Why, I was nearly cau--married, four times.  It's a
+silly age."
+
+His niece said "Indeed!" and, informing him in somewhat hostile tones
+that she was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her room.
+
+Mr. Mott spent the evening by himself, and retiring to bed at ten-thirty
+was awakened by a persistent knocking at the front door at half-past one.
+Half awakened, he lit a candle, and, stumbling downstairs, drew back the
+bolt of the door, and stood gaping angrily at the pathetic features of
+Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Sorry to disturb you," said the young man, "but would you mind giving
+this letter to Miss Garland?"
+
+"Sorry to disturb me!" stuttered Mr. Mott.  "What do you mean by it?  Eh?
+What do you mean by it?"
+
+"It is important," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can't rest.  I've eaten nothing
+all day."
+
+"Glad to hear it," snapped the irritated Mr. Mott.
+
+"If you will give her that letter, I shall feel easier," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"I'll give it to her in the morning," said the other, snatching it from
+him.  "Now get off."
+
+Mr. Hurst still murmuring apologies, went, and Mr. Mott, also murmuring,
+returned to bed.  The night was chilly, and it was some time before he
+could get to sleep again.  He succeeded at last, only to be awakened an
+hour later by a knocking more violent than before.  In a state of mind
+bordering upon frenzy, he dived into his trousers again and went
+blundering downstairs in the dark.
+
+"Sorry to--" began Mr. Hurst.
+
+Mr. Mott made uncouth noises at him.
+
+"I have altered my mind," said the young man.  "Would you mind letting me
+have that letter back again?  It was too final."
+
+"You--get--off !"  said the other, trembling with cold and passion.
+
+"I must have that letter," said Mr. Hurst, doggedly.  "All my future
+happiness may depend upon it."
+
+Mr. Mott, afraid to trust himself with speech, dashed upstairs, and after
+a search for the matches found the letter, and, returning to the front
+door, shut it on the visitor's thanks.  His niece's door opened as he
+passed it, and a gentle voice asked for enlightenment.
+
+"How silly of him!"  she said, softly.  "I hope he won't catch cold.
+What did you say?"
+
+"I was coughing," said Mr. Mott, hastily.
+
+"You'll get cold if you're not careful," said his thoughtful niece.
+"That's the worst of men, they never seem to have any thought.  Did he
+seem angry, or mournful, or what?  I suppose you couldn't see his face?"
+
+"I didn't try," said Mr. Mott, crisply.  "Good night."
+
+By the morning his ill-humour had vanished, and he even became slightly
+facetious over the events of the night.  The mood passed at the same
+moment that Mr. Hurst passed the window.
+
+"Better have him in and get it over," he said, irritably.
+
+Miss Garland shuddered.
+
+"Never!" she said, firmly.  "He'd be down on his knees.  It would be too
+painful.  You don't know him."
+
+"Don't want to," said Mr. Mott.
+
+He finished his breakfast in silence, and, after a digestive pipe,
+proposed a walk.  The profile of Mr. Hurst, as it went forlornly past the
+window again, served to illustrate Miss Garland's refusal.
+
+"I'll go out and see him," said Mr. Mott, starting up.  "Are you going to
+be a prisoner here until this young idiot chooses to go home?  It's
+preposterous!"
+
+He crammed his hat on firmly and set out in pursuit of Mr. Hurst, who was
+walking slowly up the street, glancing over his shoulder.  "Morning!"
+said Mr. Mott, fiercely.  "Good morning," said the other.
+
+"Now, look here," said Mr. Mott.  "This has gone far enough, and I won't
+have any more of it.  Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, chivvying
+a young lady that doesn't want you.  Haven't you got any pride?"
+
+"No," said the young man, "not where she is concerned."
+
+"I don't believe you have," said the other, regarding him, "and I expect
+that's where the trouble is.  Did she ever have reason to think you were
+looking after any other girls?"
+
+"Never, I swear it," said Mr. Hurst, eagerly.
+
+"Just so," said Mr. Mott, with a satisfied nod.  "That's where you made a
+mistake.  She was too sure of you; it was too easy.  No excitement.
+Girls like a man that other girls want; they don't want a turtle-dove in
+fancy trousers."
+
+Mr. Hurst coughed.
+
+"And they like a determined man," continued Miss Garland's uncle.  "Why,
+in my young days, if I had been jilted, and come down to see about it,
+d'you think I'd have gone out of the house without seeing her?  I might
+have been put out--by half-a-dozen--but I'd have taken the mantelpiece
+and a few other things with me.  And you are bigger than I am."
+
+"We aren't all made the same," said Mr. Hurst, feebly.
+
+"No, we're not," said Mr. Mott.  "I'm not blaming you; in a way, I'm
+sorry for you.  If you're not born with a high spirit, nothing'll give it
+to you."
+
+"It might be learnt," said Mr. Hurst.  Mr. Mott laughed.
+
+"High spirits are born, not made," he said.  "The best thing you can do
+is to go and find another girl, and marry her before she finds you out."
+
+Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"There's no other girl for me," he said, miserably.  "And everything
+seemed to be going so well.  We've been buying things for the house for
+the last six months, and I've just got a good rise in my screw."
+
+"It'll do for another girl," said Mr. Mott, briskly.  "Now, you get off
+back to town.  You are worrying Florrie by staying here, and you are
+doing no good to anybody.  Good-bye."
+
+"I'll walk back as far as the door with you," said Mr. Hurst.  "You've
+done me good.  It's a pity I didn't meet you before."
+
+"Remember what I've told you, and you'll do well yet," he said, patting
+the young man on the arm.
+
+"I will," said Mr. Hurst, and walked on by his side, deep in thought.
+
+"I can't ask you in," said Mr. Mott, jocularly, as he reached his door,
+and turned the key in the lock.  "Good-bye."
+
+"Good-bye," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+He grasped the other's outstretched hand, and with a violent jerk pulled
+him into the street.  Then he pushed open the door, and, slipping into
+the passage, passed hastily into the front room, closely followed by the
+infuriated Mr. Mott.
+
+"What--what--what!" stammered that gentleman.
+
+"I'm taking your tip," said Mr. Hurst, pale but determined.  "I'm going
+to stay here until I have seen Florrie."
+
+"You--you're a serpent," said Mr. Mott, struggling for breath.  "I--I'm
+surprised at you.  You go out before you get hurt."
+
+"Not without the mantelpiece," said Mr. Hurst, with a distorted grin.
+
+"A viper!" said Mr. Mott, with extreme bitterness.  "If you are not out
+in two minutes I'll send for the police."
+
+"Florrie wouldn't like that," said Mr. Hurst.  "She's awfully particular
+about what people think.  You just trot upstairs and tell her that a
+gentleman wants to see her."
+
+He threw himself into Mr. Mott's own particular easy chair, and, crossing
+his knees, turned a deaf ear to the threats of that incensed gentleman.
+Not until the latter had left the room did his features reveal the
+timorousness of the soul within.  Muffled voices sounded from upstairs,
+and it was evident that an argument of considerable length was in
+progress.  It was also evident from the return of Mr. Mott alone that his
+niece had had the best of it.
+
+"I've done all I could," he said, "but she declines to see you.  She says
+she won't see you if you stay here for a month, and you couldn't do that,
+you know."
+
+"Why not?" inquired Mr. Hurst.
+
+"Why not?" repeated Mr. Mott, repressing his feelings with some
+difficulty. "Food!"
+
+Mr. Hurst started.
+
+"And drink," said Mr. Mott, following up his advantage.  "There's no good
+in starving yourself for nothing, so you may as well go."
+
+"When I've seen Florrie," said the young man, firmly.
+
+Mr. Mott slammed the door, and for the rest of the day Mr. Hurst saw him
+no more.  At one o'clock a savoury smell passed the door on its way
+upstairs, and at five o'clock a middle-aged woman with an inane smile
+looked into the room on her way aloft with a loaded tea-tray.  By supper-
+time he was suffering considerably from hunger and thirst.
+
+At ten o'clock he heard the footsteps of Mr. Mott descending the stairs.
+The door opened an inch, and a gruff voice demanded to know whether he
+was going to stay there all night.  Receiving a cheerful reply in the
+affirmative, Mr. Mott secured the front door with considerable violence,
+and went off to bed without another word.
+
+He was awakened an hour or two later by the sound of something falling,
+and, sitting up in bed to listen, became aware of a warm and agreeable
+odour.  It was somewhere about the hour of midnight, but a breakfast
+smell of eggs and bacon would not be denied.
+
+He put on some clothes and went downstairs.  A crack of light showed
+under the kitchen door, and, pushing it open with some force, he gazed
+spellbound at the spectacle before him.
+
+"Come in," said Mr. Hurst, heartily.  "I've just finished."
+
+He rocked an empty beer-bottle and patted another that was half full.
+Satiety was written on his face as he pushed an empty plate from him,
+and, leaning back in his chair, smiled lazily at Mr. Mott.
+
+"Go on," said that gentleman, hoarsely.  Mr. Hurst shook his head.
+
+"Enough is as good as a feast," he said, reasonably.  "I'll have some
+more to-morrow."
+
+"Oh, will you?"  said the other.  "Will you?"
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, opening his coat, disclosed a bottle of beer in
+each breast-pocket.  The other pockets, it appeared, contained food.
+
+"And here's the money for it," he said, putting down some silver on the
+table.  "I am determined, but honest."
+
+With a sweep of his hand, Mr. Mott sent the money flying.
+
+"To-morrow morning I send for the police.  Mind that!"  he roared.
+
+"I'd better have my breakfast early, then," said Mr. Hurst, tapping his
+pockets.  "Good night.  And thank you for your advice."
+
+He sat for some time after the disappearance of his host, and then,
+returning to the front room, placed a chair at the end of the sofa and,
+with the tablecloth for a quilt, managed to secure a few hours' troubled
+sleep.  At eight o'clock he washed at the scullery sink, and at ten
+o'clock Mr. Mott, with an air of great determination, came in to deliver
+his ultimatum.
+
+"If you're not outside the front door in five minutes, I'm going to fetch
+the police," he said, fiercely.
+
+"I want to see Florrie," said the other.
+
+"Well, you won't see her," shouted Mr. Mott.
+
+Mr. Hurst stood feeling his chin.
+
+"Well, would you mind taking a message for me?" he asked.  "I just want
+you to ask her whether I am really free.  Ask her whether I am free to
+marry again."
+
+Mr. Mott eyed him in amazement.
+
+"You see, I only heard from her mother," pursued Mr. Hurst, "and a friend
+of mine who is in a solicitor's office says that isn't good enough.  I
+only came down here to make sure, and I think the least she can do is to
+tell me herself.  If she won't see me, perhaps she'd put it in writing.
+You see, there's another lady."
+
+"But" said the mystified Mr. Mott.
+
+"You told me----"
+
+"You tell her that," said the other.
+
+Mr. Mott stood for a few seconds staring at him, and then without a word
+turned on his heel and went upstairs.  Left to himself, Mr. Hurst walked
+nervously up and down the room, and, catching sight of his face in the
+old-fashioned glass on the mantel-piece, heightened its colour by a few
+pinches.  The minutes seemed inter-minable, but at last he heard the
+steps of Mr. Mott on the stairs again.
+
+"She's coming down to see you herself," said the latter, solemnly.
+
+Mr. Hurst nodded, and, turning to the window, tried in vain to take an
+interest in passing events.  A light step sounded on the stairs, the door
+creaked, and he turned to find himself con-fronted by Miss Garland.
+
+"Uncle told me" she began, coldly.  Mr. Hurst bowed.
+
+"I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble," he said, trying to
+control his voice, "but you see my position, don't you?"
+
+"No," said the girl.
+
+"Well, I wanted to make sure," said Mr. Hurst.  "It's best for all of us,
+isn't it?  Best for you, best for me, and, of course, for my young lady."
+
+"You never said anything about her before," said Miss Garland, her eyes
+darkening.
+
+"Of course not," said Mr. Hurst.  "How could I?  I was engaged to you,
+and then she wasn't my young lady; but, of course, as soon as you broke
+it off--"
+
+"Who is she?" inquired Miss Garland, in a casual voice.
+
+"You don't know her," said Mr. Hurst.
+
+"What is she like?"
+
+"I can't describe her very well," said Mr. Hurst.  "I can only say she's
+the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.  I think that's what made me
+take to her.  And she's easily pleased.  She liked the things I have been
+buying for the house tremendously."
+
+"Did she?" said Miss Garland, with a gasp.
+
+"All except that pair of vases you chose," continued the veracious Mr.
+Hurst.  "She says they are in bad taste, but she can give them to the
+charwoman."
+
+"Oh!" said the girl.  "Oh, indeed!  Very kind of her.  Isn't there
+anything else she doesn't like?"
+
+Mr. Hurst stood considering.
+
+"She doesn't like the upholstering of the best chairs," he said at last.
+"She thinks they are too showy, so she's going to put covers over them."
+
+There was a long pause, during which Mr. Mott, taking his niece gently by
+the arm, assisted her to a chair.
+
+"Otherwise she is quite satisfied," concluded Mr. Hurst.
+
+Miss Garland took a deep breath, but made no reply.
+
+"I have got to satisfy her that I am free," said the young man, after
+another pause.  "I suppose that I can do so?"
+
+"I--I'll think it over," said Miss Garland, in a low voice.  "I am not
+sure what is the right thing to do.  I don't want to see you made
+miserable for life.  It's nothing to me, of course, but still--"
+
+She got up and, shaking off the proffered assistance of her uncle, went
+slowly and languidly up to her room.  Mr. Mott followed her as far as the
+door, and then turned indignantly upon Mr. Hurst.
+
+"You--you've broke her heart," he said, solemnly.
+
+"That's all right," said Mr. Hurst, with a delighted wink.  "I'll mend it
+again."

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.

+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
