Phillipa had been considering. "Girls let's go," she exclaimed. "Mrs. Barrington didn't actually forbid it. She said: 'Girls I hope none of you will be foolish enough to spend your money on such nonsense. Those people are generally impostors. I'd like to have a peep into the future. There's a young man I am interested in. Now, if he's all fair and square and means business "

But if she were like Mrs. Trenham, and the change would not be so very great, she mused. Miss Nevins avoided her for the next few days. Lilian did not seem to notice it. Mrs. Barrington called the girls together one evening. "Young ladies," she began, "I have a plan to lay before you. There have always been some Hallowe'en plays and tricks that often seem both childish and reprehensible.

"I heard that Barrington had been gambling on the Stock Exchange the last few days," he answered. "He has lost a great deal of money," she answered, "and they were almost on their last legs before. Are you going to set them straight again?" "No idea," he answered. "I haven't been asked, for one thing." "Ruth will ask you, of course," the Marchioness said impatiently.

Barrington was reading it and now and then her voice faltered. "Oh," said Miss Arran, "they are alike except that this seems more pathetic. There is no doubt of the truth in my mind. Of course she saw the difference as Miss Lilian grew older and she was afraid she might have defrauded her of some better fortune. Oh, I pity the poor woman profoundly. She had a hard life. Mrs.

I remember the Prince's face, pale as ashes, and a few words of praise and thanks from them both, but it is all misty; and I had to stop on the private staircase and have my cry out before I could go up again." Lady Lyttelton was succeeded in her office by Lady Caroline Barrington, sister of Earl Grey, who held the post for twenty-four years, till her death in 1875.

Seth was by the window looking down into the quiet street as though he expected to see danger enter it at any moment. "What is it?" Barrington repeated. "I'd give half my remaining years if my conscience would bid me lie to you," Seth answered, fiercely. "I've prayed, yes, I prayed as I hurried through the streets that your mother's spirit might be allowed to whisper to me and bid me deceive you."

"The lean years cannot last forever, and, even if one is beaten again, there is a consolation in knowing that one has made a struggle. Now, I am quite aware that you are fancying a speech of this kind does not come well from me."

Standing in the open door of the house to which the justices had retired, the rescued sheriff just behind him in the hall, he called out: "Stand back! Stand back! What more do you want, men? The court is stopped." But the people murmured. The Great Barrington men did not know Perez, and were not ready to accept his dictation.

But what pace and "ensemble" he got from his company! May Irwin was the low comedian who played the servants' parts in Daly's comedies from the German. I might describe her, except that she was far more genial, as a kind of female Rutland Barrington. On and off the stage her geniality distinguished her like a halo. It is a rare quality on the stage, yet without it the comedian has uphill work.

He was very gentle. He asked me not to think unkindly of him. He kissed my hand when he left me, and, Richard, he left a tear on it." "I think he loved you, Jeanne."
