"Nay, my dear; in the interests of music, I frowned upon disorder." He added, with waving of his antennae eyebrows: "It was Helen's first opera." We all laughed hysterically, and then Mrs. Van Dam and John went away. Could could Mr. Hynes have gone to the Opera just because he had heard that I would be there? Saturday evening, Jan. 18.

There was something trumpet-like and defiant in the sound. Opposition had ever a strange effect on this spoilt woman.
