Emily enquired what had occurred, and whither they were to go? 'I cannot stay to tell you now, Signora, replied Ludovico: 'fly! fly! She immediately followed him, accompanied by Mons. Du Pont, down the stair-case, and along a vaulted passage, when suddenly she recollected Annette, and enquired for her.
Annette related the strange sad story to her physician, who decided that it was safe and desirable that there should be an interview between them.
You must give him time. 'I'll give him anything if he'll only sell an edition or two, said Annette. The outstanding thing was that he did. There seemed no particular reason why the sale of that waltz should not have been as small and as slow as that of any other waltz by an unknown composer. But almost without warning it expanded from a trickle into a flood.
It was a struggle, and I came near giving it up. "When Annette suggested that I should go to Lausanne and see Mr. Wyndham and Alice, I had not thought that I could do this, and without delay started. I was received very kindly by Mr. Wyndham. Alice had grown very weak; could not walk, and seldom could ride.
They were good friends when you came to the drawingroom. Perhaps the wine did affect poor papa, if it was bad wine. I wish men would never drink any. How much happier they would be." "But then there would cease to be social meetings in England. What should we do?" "I know that is a sneer; and you were nearly as enthusiastic as I was on board the vessel," Annette said, sadly.

Annette did not shun him next morning.
She had no spirits for reply, or enquiry; she asked no questions, but burst into tears, and disengaged herself from his arms; when the expression of his countenance changed to surprise and disappointment, and he turned to Ludovico, for an explanation; Annette soon gave the information, which Ludovico could not.
Here Sam broke into a vigorous stream of profanity. "Ay, he's improvin' A doot," said Mack. "Let us be going." "'Ello! It was Mr. Wigglesworth on his way home from the mill. "Why, bless my living lights, if it bean't Samuel. Who's been a beatin' of you, Sammy?" His eye swept the crowd. "'Ave you been at my lad?" he asked, stepping toward the young man, whom Annette named Mack.
I am in England," Annette sighed joyfully, feeling at home in some trait she had detected in Crickledon. The story of the shattered chiwal-glass and the visit of Tinman's old schoolmate fresh from Australia, was at many a breakfast-table before.
About an hour had passed when he heard the key softly turned, and the door opened. It was Annette. Tommy's heart beat a little faster. He had forgotten the girl. Was it possible that she had come to his help? Suddenly he heard Conrad's voice: "Come out of it, Annette. He doesn't want any supper to-night." "Oui, oui, je sais bien. But I must take the other tray. We need the things on it."
