The Odd Women

'So to-morrow, Alice, ' said Dr. Madden, as he walked with his eldest daughter on thecoast-downs by Clevedon, 'I shall take steps for insuring my life for a thousand pounds.' It was the outcome of a long and intimate conversation. Alice Madden, aged nineteen, a plain, shy, gentle-mannered girl, short of stature, and in movement something less thangraceful, wore a pleased look as she glanced at her father's face and then turned her eyesacross the blue channel to the Welsh hills. She was flattered by the confidence reposed inher, for Dr. Madden, reticent by nature, had never been known to speak in the domesticcircle about his pecuniary affairs. He seemed to be the kind of man who would inspire hischildren with affection: grave but benign, amiably diffident, with a hint of lurkingmirthfulness about his eyes and lips. And to-day he was in the best of humour
