She had never been unhappy, but only vaguely dissatisfied, and sometimes bored. This morning her waking sense of well-being did not fade as she came to full consciousness, but started into full pleasure as she remembered that her cousins, Angela and Beatrice Birket, with their father and mother, were in the house. And Dick and Humphrey had come down with them the evening before.
It was on that I counted, and I went out on Zion and Acra, where the crowd was less. It was getting late. Beth-horon was dim. I could see lights in Herod’s palace. Some one said that the tetrarch of Galilee was there, the guest of the procurator. I went back by way of Antonia to Birket Israil and the Red Heifer Bridge. I had given up; it seemed to me useless to make further attempt.
If I had gone straight up from here to that ball, it would have been one of the best I had ever gone to." "Well, Mr. Birket is a famous barrister, and I suppose is very well off too. I should think he knows as many interesting people as anybody." "Interesting people, yes; but there wasn't a soul there that I had seen at the other houses, except Dick and Humphrey." "Were they there?"
"I hope your daughter will be strengthened to assist him in all the good work he does," said Aunt Ellen. "I sincerely hope she will," said Mr. Birket.
