I forgot to tell you, sister Miriam," she cried, running up-stairs, after we had parted, "Evelyn has gone out, and left this note for you;" and she placed one in my hand, adding: "Mr. Claude Bainrothe was here, while you were in the library with his father, and they went away together." "Where did she receive him, Mabel? the parlors are closed, you know." "Yes, but she was all ready when he came.
"No, no, it is all too evident now to admit of a doubt I You are affianced to Mr. Bainrothe your own timid and dependent manner might have enlightened me long ago, as well as his devoted one but a man in love is blinder than the blindest bat even! He is the maddest fool certainly! Forgive me for my presumption, and forget it if you can;" and he turned away, smiting his brow impatiently.
Hope revived, but in a form that promised no fruition, and which later will be made plainer to the reader. Just now I must continue my résumé. Old Martin was dead of paralysis, after praying vainly to be spared to see his master's child return and take possession of her own, for he had never believed in my suicide, an idea that Bainrothe had taken pains to propagate.

"When you feed lions on pound-cake you may expect to see Englishmen drink German acidulations instead of the generous juice of the grape fostered on southern soil, above volcanoes even to which they have been used since the time of the last Henrys. Beer were a better alternative. Give me claret or madeira." Mr. Bainrothe had his limits, and usually took care not to exceed them.
