Whether the throne were a rushen chair in some rustic cottage, or a gilded fauteuil in a palace, she cared very little.
Now and then he would play a game of billiards with De Peyster or Haseltine, or stop to chat a moment in the vestibule with old Duane; but he was an altered man.

What a blending of confused sentiments, of powerful sympathies, of vague apprehensions, suddenly seized on the breast of the young Countess! One can hardly imagine their force to the very verge of distracting her.
