The salmi which followed it was good, and even the Feodora chef could not have sent up a better rum omelette. Sir Bartholomew was wearing a canary-coloured waistcoat with mother-of-pearl buttons. It seemed to Gorman that the expanse of yellow broadened as luncheon went on. Perhaps it actually did.
He had not failed to see that Lady Feodora regarded her travelling companion, whose relations to her he could only infer, with a feeling bordering upon aversion, and that her demeanor towards him was in marked contrast with her bearing towards himself. He was afraid the proposed meeting related to this subject.
The former is very luxuriously furnished, the seats having stuffed arms and backs, with a table between the two rows of seats, while the latter has about the same arrangement as is found in the ordinary cars in the United States. "We have lost our good friend Captain Shuffles," said Grace, with a pleasant smile. "Perhaps our loss is his gain," added Paul. "Lady Feodora is very pretty."
"Then you can rest assured that he will do so," returned Feodora. "My father is a very benevolent man naturally, but was fast becoming a misanthrope when you came among us. I shall never cease thanking God for the northern gale that blew you here." "Nor shall I, dear Feodora," said Mrs. Jones, kissing her with great affection. "And I really dread the time when we must leave you.
Now go up to my daughter and cheer her up with the news that you are forcibly detained, and will not sail till she is cured." Here the two men clasped hands, threw open their mouths to their widest extent, and laughed long and silently. "But now run up to Feodora; she needs you badly, and I have some very important business to attend to." So the Doctor again ascended to Feodora's room.
"I will look for him, if you desire," suggested Shuffles. "O, no! Do not trouble yourself," replied Feodora. "Perhaps he is looking at the play." "Pray, do, if you please, Captain Shuffles," interposed the countess. Lady Feodora was too dutiful a girl to object, and the commander went to the gambling-rooms.
Numerous physicians of note had called upon and written the Prince and himself to ascertain the facts concerning the marvelous cures that had been reported to them. The Prince and Princess sent their sincere regards, etc. Feodora wrote in a lively strain to Mrs. Jones and Mattie, and urged them to return to their castle for a good visit as soon as possible.
And Mattie's contralto beautifully and nobly seconded the soprano. The tenor and bass could scarcely have been better, and altogether it was a concert worthy of the praise of that, or any other, audience. "You will never know what a change your coming has made in our home," said Feodora to Mrs. Jones and Mattie as they sat beside her.
But no echo of these conflicts and forebodings reached the little Drina for so she was called in the family circle as she played with her dolls, or scampered down the passages, or rode on the donkey her uncle York had given her along the avenues of Kensington Gardens The fair-haired, blue-eyed child was idolised by her nurses, and her mother's ladies, and her sister Feodora; and for a few years there was danger, in spite of her mother's strictness, of her being spoilt.
And so, during their leisure hours, sitting in the Count's office, or peripatetically as they walked together in the park, the enthusiastic Doctor taught his willing and attentive pupil. "Just see those two inseparables!" cried Feodora to Mrs. Jones and Mattie, as they sat by the front reception-room window, looking out upon the park.
