Lady Castlefort did not see it she had been completely engrossed with what she had been writing, she was now looking for her most sentimental seal, and not till she had pressed that seal down and examined the impression, did she look up or notice Cecilia Then struck indeed with a sense of something unusual "My dear," said she, "you have no idea how odd you look so strange, Cecilia quite ebahie!"
"Katrine's set," observed Lady Castlefort coolly. "Just like them; just like her!" "I should not care about it in the least," said Lady Cecilia, "if it were only Katrine's ill-nature, or their ill-breeding. Ill-breeding always recoils on the ill-bred, and does nobody else any harm.

This took place with Horace; it put him in spirits, in train, and he fired away at Lady Castlefort, whom he had been flattering a loutrance five minutes before. "I so admire that acting of sacrifice in your belle cousine to-night! Pasta herself could not do it better.

'We will have a quiet dinner some day, and play at our ease. Come to-morrow, and I will ask Castlefort and Dice. I should uncommonly like, entre nous, to win some of their money.
