Diana removed her gloves, and looked at the bright new wedding-ring, encircling the third finger of her left hand.
David glanced at it also, and looked away.
"Good-bye, old Metropole!" he said, as they sped past Northumberland Avenue. "We have had some jolly times there. Ah, here is the Abbey! I must set my watch by Big Ben."
"Would you like to stop, and go into the Abbey?" suggested Diana. "We have time."
"No, I think not," said David. "I made my final adieu to English cathedrals at Winchester, last Monday. And I had such a surprise and pleasure there. Nothing the Abbey could provide would equal it."
"What was that?" asked Diana, and her hand stole very near to David's.
David folded his arms across his breast, and turned to her with delight in his eyes.
"Why, the day before you came to town, I went down to Winchester to say good-bye to some very old friends. Before leaving that beautiful city I went into the cathedral, and there I found—what do you think? A side-chapel called the Chapel of the Epiphany, with a stained-glass window representing the Wise Men opening their treasures and offering their gifts to the Infant Saviour."
"Were there three Wise Men?" asked Diana. For some reason, her lips were trembling.
