"Keep it for me, Katharine." "I assure you everything's perfectly all right," said Ralph. "Let me tell William " He was about, in spite of Cassandra's protest, to reach the door, when Mrs. Hilbery, either warned by the parlor-maid or conscious with her usual prescience of the need for her intervention, opened the door and smilingly surveyed them. "My dear Cassandra!" she exclaimed.
Alice was in good-humor, also, for he had brought her a set of jewels. "Is it not her birthday," he said, when he gave her the jewel case, "or something, that I can give Cassandra this?" taking a little box from his pocket. "Oh yes," said Alice; "show it to us." "Will you have it?" he asked me. I held out my hand, and he put on my third finger a diamond ring, which was like a star.
She had never asked him to teach her anything; she had never consented to read Macaulay; she had never expressed her belief that his play was second only to the works of Shakespeare. She followed dreamily in their wake, smiling and delighting in the sound which conveyed, she knew, the rapturous and yet not servile assent of Cassandra.
"I could express my views on the subject more fully if we were alone," Mr. Hilbery returned. "But you forget me," said Katharine. She moved a little towards Rodney, and her movement seemed to testify mutely to her respect for him, and her alliance with him. "I think William has behaved perfectly rightly, and, after all, it is I who am concerned I and Cassandra."
She held two or three books in her hand, and she was stooping to look at others in a little bookcase. She said that she could never tell which book she wanted to read in bed, poetry, biography, or metaphysics. "What do you read in bed, Katharine?" she asked, as they walked upstairs side by side.

"Convince me beyond all doubt that a woman can reason with her impulses, or even fathom them, and I will be in your debt." "Maybe but Ben is coming." He looked at me strangely. "You must find this very dull, Cassandra," said Ben, joining us. "Cassandra," said Desmond, "are you bored?" The accent with which he spoke my name set my pulses striking like a clock.
He saw also that she had followed the general outline of the poem; but one of the faces was so supreme in its mute anguish that he thought of Reni's "Cenci," and of a wan "Alcestis," and a desperate "Cassandra," he had seen at Rome; and, in comparison, the description of the poet seemed almost vapid,
Alice Tennant and Cassandra are great friends." "But I don't like either of them," said Kathleen in her blunt way. Mrs. Weldon looked a little startled. "Do you know my daughter?" she asked. "She is much too interfering, and she is frightfully stuck-up. Please forgive me, but I am always very plain-spoken; I always tell the truth. I don't want her.
"Please, miss," said the maid, about eleven o'clock on the following morning, "Mrs. Milvain is in the kitchen." A long wicker basket of flowers and branches had arrived from the country, and Katharine, kneeling upon the floor of the drawing-room, was sorting them while Cassandra watched her from an arm-chair, and absent-mindedly made spasmodic offers of help which were not accepted.
