This last was what she had let her father do in the case of Frank Shirley; and she had become certain in her own mind that she had done wrong. But he was insistent in his demand; declaring that it should be obvious to her there could be no peace of mind for him so long as my influence continued in her life. "But surely," protested Sylvia, "to hear Mary Abbott's explanation "

Dodge; I beg you will call to them, for I long to hear what the first can have to say about his beloved Effinghams, now?" Mr. Dodge complied, and the navigator of the ocean and the navigator of the lake, were soon seated in Mrs. Abbott's little parlour, which might be styled the focus of gossip, near those who were so lately its sole occupants. "This is wonderful news, gentlemen," commenced Mrs.

"Poor Marie Antoinette!" sighed Elsie; "I never could read her story without tears, and the very thought of her sorrows and sufferings makes my heart ache." "I don't think I ever read it," said Zoe, "though I have a general idea what it was." "We have Abbott's life of her at Ion," said Elsie. "I'll get it for you when we go home." Harold stepped to the window.

The Abbott's place, Rincona, stood on a foothill behind the other estates of Alta and surrounded by a park of two hundred acres set thick with magnificent oaks. Gathbroke had never seen finer ones in England or France. Gwynne before entering the avenue drove to an elevation above the house and stopped the car for a moment.

Self-respect and loyalty to Grace hastened Abbott's departure, leaving the spirit of mockery to escape the janitor's broom as best it might.

I'm as old as the kings of France used to be when they got married, I read it in Abbott's histories. But there's the clock striking nine! I must run or I shall get a tardy mark, and, perhaps, she'll want to see my certificate sometimes." So saying, he kissed me on the cheek and set off for school as fast as his legs could carry him.

Charles Abbott's resentment changed to pity, and then to a calm acceptance of what had the aspect of undeviating fate. "Very well," he said quietly. "After all, you are right, it is nothing but a shawl, and our love for each other must not suffer. I'll give it to you freely, Andrés: she will look wonderful in it." The other grasped his hands. "Be patient, Charles," he begged.

So there they were, the three of them. But Nora's ineffectual battle for repression had driven her near to hysteria. To escape this dire calamity, she flung open a casement window and stood within it, breathing in the heavy fragrance of the rain-laden air.
