pale in the face. Then we picked up 
our basket, upon the contents of which 
our labours had apparently made no im- 
pression, and, hastily pushing a plate 
over the rich red stain it had left on 
the table cloth, departed with our fruit 
and a grieved feeling in the region of 
our hearts. It may not be amiss to 
remark that I have never eaten a 
blackberry since. To get to our car 
it was necessary to pass through an- 
other sleeper, where I noticed a made 
up berth in which was reclining a 
young woman, and hovering over her 
solicitously a man, evidently the hus- 
band. 
Hope and joy awoke within me — 
perhaps she would like some black- 
berries! No, she would not venture to 
eat fruit, and with many thanks, oh, 
many, many thanks, she declined it.
