Charles passed just then; he was endeavoring to form a cotillon, declaring that talk was slow, and, now that the music was over, a dance would be the thing. "Charles, you will go to Nahant for a week, won't you?" "What! now?" "In a day or two." "Too cold, Sister Marcia; too late, altogether." "But you were unwilling to go early in the season."
To get them in the first instance, she had been obliged to give a dance, and to offer cotillon favours worth at least five hundred francs each; and these things had been alluringly displayed in a fashionable jeweller's window for a week before the entertainment, just at the time when people were making up their minds whether or not to accept "that weird creature's" invitations.
So he carried his handsome pupil into the next room and took his place with her in a cotillon. Whether the breath of the Goddess of Love could intoxicate like the cup of Circe, whether a woman is ever phosphorescent with the luminous vapor of life that she exhales, these and other questions which relate to occult influences exercised by certain women we will not now discuss. It is enough that Mr.
However, he did not wish to rebuke her; simply and ardently he wished to dance the cotillon with her. Resentment was swallowed up in hope. The fact that Miss Jones' feeling for him bore a striking resemblance to that of Simon Legree for Uncle Tom, deterred him not at all.

These novels will be announced on the wrapper of the book.
He read all there was to read about the sickeningly minute details of jewels and costumes, the sorts of stuffs served at supper, the cotillon, the favours then, turning back, he read about the dozen-odd separate hostesses who had entertained the various coteries and sets at separate dinners before the ball read every item, every name, to the last imbecile period.
"Will you give me your blessing and whole forgiveness? Do not laugh at me, nor think me foolish. The blessing of such women as you should make men braver and better." The gallery was again deserted. The cotillon had begun, and those who were not dancing were at supper. Corona stood still for one moment by the very chair where they had sat so long. "I forgive you wholly.
