Now, go and help to bring up the teas." Effie turned to her duties with a tingling sensation in her eyes. It was the first time since her arrival at St. Joseph's that her work seemed almost impossible to her. Her heart quite ached with longing to know what Lawson had meant. What had he to tell her about George?

But after a moment dropped back in her chair and laughed uneasily. "You're preposterous," she said; "I can't think why I let you talk to me in this way." Honora may be pardoned for finally ascribing to Mr.
I beg Your Excellency to receive my thanks, however inadequately expressed, and to believe that I appreciate Your Excellency's kind and generous services performed in the midst of your high official duties, consummating a proceeding so unique, and in a manner so graceful, that personal kindness has been beautifully blended with official dignity.
