That's the next thing to consider." "Does look curious," replied Dr. Blake, "but of course you can be trusted to discover that! But about Annette?"

"We must get her out of there!" he exploded; "away from that vampire!"
And, smiling, he drifted out of the gallery again, blue and solid like the smoke of his excellent cigar. Soames had taken the cheque, feeling as if the intrinsic value of ownership had been called in question. 'He's a cosmopolitan, he thought, watching Profond emerge from under the verandah with Annette, and saunter down the lawn towards the river.
And there is Nurse as well as Annette. Surely Nurse lends dignity to any family. But I am older than you think," she ended with a smile and a pretty blush. "I am twenty- four, Mr. Angus." A kindly look came into the eyes bent on her slender, black-robed figure. "You do not look it, my dear," her visitor said after a pause. "Well, with two good servants, the plan may be successful.
The approaching hop possessed right of way over every other thought. By the combined assistance of Mrs. Hollis and Aunt Melvy, he had been ready at half-past seven. The dance did not begin until nine; but he was to take Annette, and the doctor, whose habits were as fixed as the numbers on a clock, had insisted that she should attend prayer-meeting as usual before the dance.
'I am very busy, dear, Paul answered in a cold desperation, 'and we might discuss these important questions at another moment. 'Oh, cried Annette, 'anything to avoid the truth!

She will be glad to see her sister, and yet, one does not like to seem pushing.

In Trumet she had made Mrs. Dott her protegee because it was her nature to patronize, and Serena had not resented the patronage.

Urmand.
Emily leaned her head upon her hand, and was, for some time, silent; then, telling Annette she wished to be alone, the latter left the room. The remark of Annette had revived Emily's terrible suspicion, concerning the fate of Madame Montoni; and she resolved to make another effort to obtain certainty on this subject, by applying to Montoni once more.
Annette came to undress her, and I was glad to see the goodness of my niece towards her, but the coolness with which the girl behaved to her mistress did not escape my notice.
