A shade of melancholy came over her charming face as she turned alone towards the spring. Mrs. Farquhar, Colonel Fane, and a great many of their first and second cousins were at the station the morning the Bensons and King and Forbes departed for the North.
In fact, the Bensons in her set were simply an unthinkable element. It disturbed the established order of things. If any one thinks meanly of Penelope for counting upon the heroism of Irene to effect her unhappiness, let him reflect of how little consequence is the temporary happiness of one or two individuals compared with the peace and comfort of a whole social order.
We passed through Switzerland, Milan, and Florence to Rome, where we took up our residence for four months. The Egertons and Bensons happily spent the same winter at Rome. My rooms were in an adjoining palace to where Mr. and Mrs. Nixon and my sisters resided, there not being accommodation for me.
Why, he spends half his time in the kitchen, nosing 'round the cupboards and refrigerator; and, of course, NO girl will stand that! That's why I'm hoping, oh, I AM hoping that you can do SOMETHING with him on that ancestor business. There, here is the Bensons', where I've got to stop and thank you ever so much, Mr. Smith, if you will." "All right, I'll try," promised Mr.

Ford agreed without giving the matter a second thought. Upon such unconsidered trifles an indifferent "yes" or "no" turn the poised scales of life.
