"Oh, yes," he said eagerly; "the song you promised you will not deny me?" "If you care, yes; after our waltz; and now ere we lose ourselves in the soul-stirring music, tell me, did I hear aright, have Blanche Tompkins and Sir Tilton Everly joined their fate together?" "They have; Lady Everly announced the fact herself."
"Never saw him looking better; I just ran down for twenty-four hours." "How is the place looking? "Gorgeous! never saw anything to equal it." "The festivities were brilliant, I presume?" "Should say so; the county were tongue-tied in admiration; couldn't find words." "You had no time for the birds, Everly, I suppose," said Trevalyon.
Haughton," said Vaura, gaily, "who, when not given a chance for the cold steel of the battle field, are ever ready to bare the breast for the warm dart of Cupid. "Wouldn't give five cents for 'em," cried Mrs. Haughton, "I want the soldiers; so if this man Bright pleases me in this matter, though I care not a dime for politics, I am with him." "Hear! hear!" exclaimed Everly.
Moreover, considering it an honour to the house of Morton that an Everly should have linked himself thereto, we have decided to let you have Johnston's rent for the future, and regularly. But, dear nephew, remember you cannot afford to make a mere love-match; you must marry an heiress. Your setter Hecate has had pups, which we shall nurse tenderly for you, as they represent money.
And what would a ball be without this undercurrent of what we call flirtation; in reality, this yearning for the one in the multitude. "Why, Chancer, what's come to you, man? You remind one of a spirit in Elysian fields in search of its mate," said Stuart, as he strolled about with Lady Everly on his arm.
"With much love, from your affectionate Aunt, "MARTHA MORTON. "Sir Tilton Everly, "Paris, Hotel European, 2nd Nov., 1887." "It will please the aunts if I write instanter, so here goes." "DEAR AUNT MARTHA, Draft received, came in handy, can assure you. You are a jolly pair of relations for a fellow to have; never wanted the needful more.
But where can she be all this time, I wonder, and with whom? so breaking in upon Lionel's reverie, she repeated her question of, "Where and with whom is Vaura? she has missed two or three dances." "Everly was the happy man not two minutes ago," he said. "That bird of passage; 'tis a wonder she wastes her sweetness upon him." "Poor Everly!
"My dear friend and darling Vaura, how glad, glad I am to see you both; you give the place quite a home look; Mrs. Haughton, Lady Esmondet and my niece Vaura, and here is my wife's step-daughter, Miss Tompkins, a devotee of the American Eagle, and Sir Tilton Everly." "I should say so," said Blanche, "our Eagle would make short work of the furs of your Lion and not lose a feather."
"Miss Vernon," said Bertram, "you missed the best thing of the evening, or I suppose so by the fact of Everly having come over with his finger in his mouth to ask what the house came down for." "You will relieve my woman curiosity," she answered smiling, "of course Sir Tilton will not own to the being curious, save on my account."
I know whom you have missed," she said truly, for Sir Tilton Everly has informed her, out-come her woman wit to prevent the meeting. "Is she anything to you?" "No, and yes, as all women beautiful or fascinating are, I love you all."
