On the stairs she heard Helen's voice. 'He came yesterday, to the evening dinner, but I don't like him. 'Why not? asked Percy. 'Because he says I am just like Aunt Theodora, and I am not. Theodora knew whom she meant. Lord St. Erme had been much struck by her little niece's resemblance, and Helen resented the comparison as an indignity to her beauty.
Garth, a hard-looking, military dame, who seemed so well able to take care of herself, that there was none of the compassion that had caused Theodora to relieve poor little Miss Piper. It was not long before Lord St. Erme persuaded his aunt that her tour in Germany would not be complete without a visit to Baden-Baden. Mrs.
Thus ended the visit, and Arthur, hastily throwing the cushions back into their places, demanded, 'What on earth could possess those folks to come here now! 'It was an inconvenient time, said Theodora. 'Dawdling and loitering here! a man with nothing better to do with his time! 'Nay, said Theodora, touched by the injustice; 'Lord St. Erme is no man not to know how to dispose of his time.
She was helping him to revise it last summer at Ventnor. 'I envy you! cried Lord St. Erme; 'to go through such a book with such a companion was honour indeed! 'It was delightful, said Violet. 'Those are such delicious descriptions, proceeded he. 'Do you remember the scene where he describes the crusading camp at Constantinople?
Oh! the suspense, the heart-beating as those answers were sent up from the depths of the tomb a living tomb indeed; and how Lady Lucy pressed the women's hard hands, and shed her tears of joy with them. But there was a damp to her gladness. Next message was that Lord St. Erme bad fainted they could not tell whether he lived he could not hold out any longer!
'Healthy, freshening mists, and honest vigorous frosts to brace one for service, said Theodora, smiling. 'O, Miss Martindale! cried Lady Lucy, entering, 'are you persuading St. Erme to stay all the year in England? I do so wish he would. 'Then you ought to make him, said Theodora. 'If Miss Martindale were to express a wish or opinion She saw it was time to cut him short.
Then weep not o'er the hour of pain, As those who lose their all; Gather the fragments that remain, They'll prove nor few nor small. In the meantime Theodora and her father had been brought into contact with visitors from the external world. One morning James brought in a card and message of inquiry from Lord St. Erme, and Lord Martindale desired that he should be admitted.
As she opened the gate to leave the gardens, Lord St. Erme rode by with a young lady. Was he passing from her power? The spirit of rivalry prompted a gracious bow and smile. He checked his horse, looked delighted, and introduced 'his sister.
Only, then, if Lord St. Erme is to have her, it would be equally troublesome. 'My dears, pray come in! said Lady Martindale, in the porch. 'You do not know how late it is. Her ladyship was in an unusual hurry to make them wish good night, and come up-stairs. She followed Violet to her room, and in one moment had begun: 'Violet, my dear, has Arthur told you? 'He has told me nothing.
Moss was so very kind to my poor little sister that we hardly know how to be sufficiently grateful. 'I never saw any of the family but the brother, said Theodora. 'And he is not the best specimen, said Lord St. Erme. 'Some of the young ladies are remarkably nice people, very sensible, and Lucy is continually discovering some kindness of theirs among the poor people.
