Cristie was greatly interested in the performance, and an outside observer could have had no reason to suppose that there had been any break in the friendly intercourse between Miss Rose and Mr. Tippengray. But this unsatisfactory state of things soon came to an end.

"I am sorry to say," said Lodloe, "that I never had a sister at that college, though I have one who wanted very much to go there; but instead of that she went with an aunt to Europe, where she married." "An American?" asked Mrs. Cristie. "Yes," said Lodloe. "What was his name?" "Tredwell." "I never heard of him," said the lady. "There don't seem to be any threads to take hold of."

"I shall do nothing of the kind," she answered shortly, "and I oughtn't to be out here in the night air either." Lanigan gazed at Mrs. Cristie and her companion. If that charming young widow wanted some one to walk about with her in the moonlight, she could surely do better than that. Perhaps a diversion might be effected and partners changed. "Mrs.

Cristie; "and mind, Ida, don't you say a word of this to a living soul." "Oh, you needn't be afraid of that," said Miss Mayberry; "I never betray confidences." "I am afraid," said Mrs Cristie to herself, as she stood alone by her baby's bedside, "that I went a little too far. It isn't settled yet, and it would have been better not to say anything about it.

Petter, I wish to ask your opinion about something that Mr. Lodloe has been talking of to me." The young man looked at her in astonishment. "He has been telling me," continued Mrs. Cristie, "of a gentleman he knows, a person of education, and accustomed to society, who had conceived the idea of living in Lethbury. Now what do you think of that?" "Well," said Mrs.

"Were you a Vassar girl?" he asked. "Oh, yes," said Mrs. Cristie; "I was there four years." "Perhaps you know something of old Matthew Vassar, the founder?" Mrs. Cristie laughed. "I've heard enough about him, you may be sure; but what has he to do with anything?" "I once slept in his room," said Lodloe; "in the Founder's Room, with all his stiff old furniture, and his books, and his portrait."

It was necessary, for the furtherance of Miss Calthea's plans, that she should be on good terms with Mrs. Cristie. She ought, in fact, to be intimate with her, so that when the time came she could talk to her freely and plainly. It was desirable, indeed, that she should maintain a friendly connection with everybody at the Squirrel Inn.

Cristie on the lawn. "I have been waiting for some time," he said, "in order to tell you that I am ready at any moment to repair the unpardonable blunder that I made yesterday, and to escort back to New York the very unsuitable young woman whom I forced upon you." "Oh, you need not think of doing anything of that kind," said Mrs.

"To New York!" cried the astonished Mrs. Cristie. "Madam," said Lodloe, "let me propose that we retire a little from the house. Perhaps her room may be somewhere above us." And the two having walked a short distance over the lawn, he continued: "I really believe that I have done a very foolish thing, but having promised to do you a service I greatly disliked not to keep my word.

Cristie till she sees that she's got a young man of her own; then as sweet as sugar." When Miss Calthea Rose set about to be as sweet as sugar, it was very good sugar that she took for her model. She liked to talk, but was not a mistress of words, and although her remarks were not always to the point, they were generally pointed. At last Mr. Tippengray came out on the piazza.
