She received a telegram announcing that Lord Hurdly had been killed in the hunting-field. Poor Bettina, with all her faults and limitations, had something of her mother's noble nature in her, and this element of her somewhat complicated individuality had been the part of her which had expanded most of late. Her first feelings, therefore, were unmingled pity and regret.
Scott and Bettina stopped, struck with this inscription carved on the stone: "Here lies Dr. Marcel Reynaud, Surgeon-Major of the Souvigny Mobiles; killed January 8, 1871, at the Battle of Villersexel. Pray for him." When they had read it, the Cure, pointing to Jean, said: "It was his father!"
The long, low building that you saw beyond the other buildings is the Campo Santo, a name given to burial places in Italy, which, as you know, is a Latin term, and means 'holy ground." "I think it is a beautiful name," said Bettina. "Yes, there is a solemn rhythm about the words that pleases the ear rather more than does our word 'cemetery," said Mr. Sumner.
What the wiles were, how unscrupulously they were employed to effect any end that he had in view, Horace was now more than ever aware. And every fresh revelation of them tended to soften him toward Bettina. He was in the habit of trusting his instincts, and these had as determinedly declared to him that his cousin was false.

"That was it. He didn't. I think" she yawned "I think he kissed her."
Hardly any of these, though so entirely in keeping with the brilliant city, are in Venice to-day; we must go elsewhere, to Madrid, to Paris, Florence, Rome, Dresden, and Berlin to find them. One mythological picture only, Venus and Adonis, is in the Academy, and one portrait of a Doge, doubtfully ascribed to Titian, is in the Ducal Palace." "Then what pictures are here?" asked Bettina, as Mr.
Perhaps I can put the case more clearly so. At all events, I shall try." Bettina shook her head. "You will simply waste your time," she said. "Nothing can change me from my purpose of going at once to America, with no income but my own little inheritance, and taking up my old life there." The word inheritance had suggested to both of them the thought of her mother.
I am hoping earnestly that you will agree with me when you have heard it." "Pray sit down," said Bettina, speaking mechanically, and from the mere instinct of observance of ordinary forms. She had no sooner spoken than she remembered that it was his own house, of which she was doing the honors to him.
