Come, dry your eyes and go with me to the parlor. There are some young gentlemen here from New York. One of them is Dr. Lacey’s cousin. He wishes to see you." "Oh, no, no!" said Fanny, quickly. "I cannot go down. You must excuse me to him." So Mrs. Miller returned to the parlor, and said Fanny was not feeling very well and wished to be excused.

Lacey’s heart was wholly centered upon Fanny, and that the news of her coming marriage was the cause of his unhappiness. Next morning’s sun rose clear and bright, but it brought a day which Dr. Lacey long, long remembered, and which Julia, in the bitterness of her heart, cursed many and many a time. In the early part of the morning Dr.

The latter conquered, and the voice was calm and decided which replied, "I assure you, Miss Woodburn, that Dr. Lacey bears no relation to me except that of a common acquaintance." "Indeed," said Florence. "I am sorry, for I was anticipating much pleasure in describing Dr. Lacey’s intended lady to the New Orleans girls."

Slowly her eyes unclosed; then, as if wearied out, she again closed them, and for a time slept sweetly, calmly, on Dr. Lacey’s bosom. The guests now began to depart, and Bill Jeffrey, who had been sent to inform Mrs. Dunn of her son, returned with some of the neighbors, and carried Joseph away.

William Middleton returned to New Orleans, and Dr. Lacey sent with him his servant Rondeau, nothing loath to return home, for Leffie’s face of late had haunted him not a little. Dr. Lacey’s return to Mrs. Crane’s gave great satisfaction to Mrs.

Lacey’s long silence, as well as with the heartless letter which Fanny had received from New Orleans. "Yes, this will do," said Kate, as she read what her husband had written. "But," she added, "I cannot help feeling sorry that it was not sent yesterday." "Oh, Kate," said Mr. Miller, gayly, "your anxiety for Fanny has made you nervous, and now you are almost superstitious.

As he sat there, gazing coldly, sternly at her, she again spoke, "If you can, if you will only forgive me." Dr. Lacey’s brow grew dark and his manner excited, as he replied, "Forgive you! In time I may learn to do so, but to forget will take me my lifetime, and yet I blame myself not less than I do you for having been so duped." A low sob was Julia’s only answer as Dr.

Stanton’s looks and manners were so much like Dr. Lacey’s that Fanny felt herself irresistibly drawn toward him and her face assumed a brighter aspect than it had worn for many days. Julia watched her closely and felt that nothing could please her better than a flirtation between Stanton and her sister. But such was not a part of Fanny’s intentions.

I fancy she was always fearful lest my brother should like Fanny the best; and she probably took this method to make you both think meanly of Fanny." "Your idea is, probably, the correct one," said Mr. Miller, who would have added more, but Kate interrupted him by saying, "Yes, I think I understand it all now. Julia is, probably, at the foundation of Dr. Lacey’s neglect.

Dunn a very friendly good night, and returned home where she found Fanny employed in writing an answer to Dr. Lacey’s letter. Here, for the present, we will leave them, until Julia’s plot has time to ripen. The reader will now accompany us to Geneva, one of the most beautiful villages in Western New York.
