"But why with you, Aunt Kate? Do you know her so well?"
"He shall like me," she thought; "not as he must like that golden-haired maiden whose existence this sprite of a negro has discovered, but as a friend, or sister," and a softer light shone in Alice's blue eyes, as she foresaw in fancy Hugh gradually coming to like her, to be glad that she was there, and to miss her when she was gone.

When he faced his mother it was with composure that belied the state of his feelings.
