"I SAW Mr. Emerson yesterday," said Mrs. Everet. She was sitting with Irene in her own house in New York. "Did you?" Irene spoke evenly and quietly, but did not turn her face toward Mrs. Everet. "Yes. I saw him at my husband's store. Mr. Everet has engaged him to conduct an important suit, in which many thousands of dollars are at stake."
It was from a desire to look deeper into the heart of her friend that she had spoken of her meeting with Mr. Emerson. The glance she obtained revealed far more than her imagination had ever reached. THE brief meeting with Mrs. Everet had stirred the memory of old times in the heart of Mr. Emerson.
She answered in as cheerful a tone as she could assume, and the kind old waiting-woman retired. From that time every one noted a change in Irene. But none knew, or even guessed, its cause or meaning. Not even to her friend, Mrs. Everet, did she speak of her meeting with Hartley Emerson.
Everet promised to pass as much time in the next summer with her father as possible, so as to act with Irene in the development of these schemes. The first warm days of summer found Irene back again in her home at Ivy Cliff. Her visit in New York had been prolonged far beyond the limit assigned to it in the beginning, but Rose would not consent to an earlier return.
I have puzzled myself a great many times over that fact of his turning his eyes, as if from some hidden impulse, just to the spot where I was sitting. There are no accidents as I have often heard you say in the common acceptation of the term; therefore this was no accident." "It was a providence," said Rose. "And to what end?" asked Irene. Mrs. Everet shook her head.
The husband of Rose was a merchant, residing in New York, named Everet. After a short bridal tour she went to her new home in the city. Mr. Everet was five or six years her senior, and a man worthy to be her life-companion. No sudden attachment had grown up between them. For years they had been in the habit of meeting, and in this time the character of each had been clearly read by the other.
