Little divined as much from Grace's letters and messages to herself; and she said, with a smile, "You see 'Les absents n'ont pas toujours tort." I must now deal briefly with a distinct vein of incidents, that occurred between young Little's first becoming a master and the return of the Cardens from London.
He stayed till the last moment; stopped a letter of five lines from Little, in which he said he should be in New York very soon, en route for England; and the very next day he received the Cardens, with a smiling countenance and a fainting heart, and then vacated the premises. He ordered Lally to hang about the Villa at certain hours when the post came in, and do his best.
They spent a delightful hour together, and, even when they parted, their eyes lingered on each other. Soon after this the Cardens gave a dinner-party, and Grace asked if she might invite Mrs. Little and Mr. Little. "What, is he presentable?" "More than that," said Grace, coloring. "They are both very superior to most of our Hillsborough friends."
