The half light of the apartment was perhaps a begetter of remembrances, for they began to talk of the past, if indeed so short a period back as two summers deserves to be so entitled. Through Lord Brompton's thoughts floated an inquiry as to whether he was not in love with his companion, for, if not, why this joyous sense of re-acquisition on his part?
I have felt very timid about singing before you, sir; but if it will afford you the least pleasure, I am willing to do the best of which I am capable." "You sang quite successfully before a large audience at Mrs. Brompton's, and displayed sufficient self-possession." "But those were strangers, and the opinion of those with whom we live is more important, their criticism is more embarrassing."
Reynolds, I am very happy to make your acquaintance." "Mr. Reynolds was Lord Brompton's servant at Ripon, you remember?" "Oh! Reynolds, I am glad to see you." "That will do, Reynolds; you can go." "Papa, I have a commission for you in England." Reynolds's face fell. "Any any message for my master, my lady?" "No. Oh stop yes.
I am a wiry mouse, proud and sensitive, and some mice, it is said, will not permit insult added to injury." "Regina, are you ready? I shall take you to Mrs. Brompton's, and it is quite time to start." Mrs.

"I am an old friend of Lord Brompton's family," she said, steadily enough; "and as I return to London to-morrow, I have walked here to-night just to see where the head of a grand old line is forced to reside." Reynolds was touched on his tender spot.
Brompton's request, because she was an old friend; and moreover that Professor Hurtsel had said they really required my voice for the principal solo." "Did it occur to you to threaten to break down entirely, burst into tears, and disgrace things generally, if forced to sing before such an audience?
"Some important business connected with my profession, and involving a case long ago placed in my hands, called me, despite the unfavourable weather, to that section of the city. Having particularly desired and instructed you to come home as soon as the rehearsal at Mrs. Brompton's ended, I certainly had no right to suppose you intended to disobey me."
Sydney began to be offended thinking this too flippant treatment of a man of his position. Meantime Maggie Windsor had been asking Dacre about the beauty. "She told me last night she was a very old friend of Lord Brompton's?" "Yes, I believe she was. I fancy even there may have been some childish love affair between them." Dacre spoke bluntly, as usual.
