Nevertheless, he was glad to tell Lionel of these callers, and of their flowers and cards and messages and what not. On this Tuesday afternoon Miss Burgoyne also called; but, hearing that there were some relations come, she would not go up-stairs. Maurice went down to see her. "What brought on this fever?" she asked, after the usual inquiries. "A variety of causes, I should imagine," he answered.
