"Down on Long Island last week I was spending Sunday with the Amhersts." He held up the glittering fact to her, and watched for the least little blink of awe; but her lids never trembled. It was a confession of social blindness which painfully negatived Mrs. Dressel's hint that she knew the Amhersts; if she had even known of them, she could not so fatally have missed his point. "Long Island?"
She drew her brows together in puzzled retrospection. "I wonder if it could have been Stephen Wyant? I heard he had taken over his uncle's practice somewhere near New York." "Wyant that's the name. He's the doctor at Clifton, the nearest town to the Amhersts' place.
Your people have taken Louisburg; had I been there, it should never have been given up. Drucour was hasty he listened to the women. I should allow no woman to move me. I should be inflexible. They might send two Amhersts and two Wolfes against me, I would hold my fortress." "They will never send two, your Excellency," said I.
"I think he has very great promise which he is almost certain not to fulfill," she answered with a sigh which seemed to Westy's anxious ear to betray a more than professional interest in the person referred to. "Oh, come now why not? With the Amhersts to give him a start I heard my cousin recommending him to a lot of people the other day "
The temporary cessation of Bessy's week-end parties had naturally not closed her doors to occasional visitors, and glimpses of the autumnal animation of Long Island passed now and then across the Amhersts' horizon.
