Hugh Bellmer I have not seen. Strathay has really gone, spirited away by that superior cousin. And Mrs. Whitney has deserted me oh, if it were not for money troubles, I wouldn't mind that, cruel as was the manner of it! Of course the newspapers soon learned that Strathay had left town. Trust them for that; and to make sensational use of it!
And gazing upon radiant Her, I might have recovered myself but for the third untoward event of the day. It came in the shape of Bellmer. Perhaps I ought not to have seen him alone, but it is hard for one who has lived in the free atmosphere of the prairie, and has been a bachelor girl in New York with Kitty Reid to think about caution.
I wonder I never thought of that. I'll ask him. I will not take my bills to Judge Baker to be lectured on the dodo and on lines of social cleavage as if any man could be a match for me. I'll never go back to Aunt Frank! There is Bellmer, now and Strathay must soon return to New York, to sail. May 20. I wonder if I couldn't earn money. For the last week nothing but trouble. No check from Father.
"I am just a country mouse, and I've really counted on seeing one or two great people, Mr. Bellmer besides you, of course." "The Charity Ball is aw, y'know, Miss Winship, an institution," he explained, fairly strutting in his complacency at my deference; "and as an institution, not as a Society event, ye understand, it is patronized by the most prominent ladies in the city." "How good of them!"
But whether I danced or talked with tiresome men, my heart beat violently because he would see the admiration I won he would know that I, who was Helen, a Queen to these others, lived only for him, was his slave. There was supper, served at an endless number of little tables; there was a cotillon which I danced with Mr. Bellmer.
