Jennie laughed again, and George Wentworth thought it one of the prettiest laughs he had ever heard. Poor Kenyon was rather neglected by his friend during the dinner. He felt a little gloomy while the courses went on, and wished he had an evening paper.
Such trust did Hilda inspire in him, that Kenyon had never asked what was the subject of the communication between herself and this old priest.
