Wyllys, of her niece, who was sitting near the window. "The Hubbards," she replied. "What, Patsey Hubbard?" "Oh, no; her cousins very different persons.

Two ladies, radiant with elegance, entered the room, and were introduced, by Miss Agnes, to her sister-in-law, as Mrs. Hilson, and Miss Emmeline Hubbard.
As he was to return, however, in the course of a few weeks, his father hoped that he would be able to play the dandy in New York at less cost than in Paris. Mr. Taylor's meditations were interrupted by Mrs. Hilson, who stopped to speak to him as he passed; she wished to inquire if Miss Adeline were at home, as she was anxious to see her, having a piece of news to communicate.
Hilson tells me Charles Hubbard will be at Saratoga, with us!" "I am very glad to hear it, my child; I want to see Charlie." "Has he brought home many pictures?" continued Elinor. "I really don't know; I did not think of asking him." "I should suppose you would be anxious to see your cousin's paintings." "Oh, no; portraits are the only pictures that interest me. Elinor bowed.
Hilson and Miss Emmeline Hubbard, escorted by Monsieur Bonnet and another Frenchman. They were soon followed by a set more interesting to Elinor, the Hazlehursts, Mrs. Creighton, and her brother. "I hope none of your party from Wyllys-Roof are here from necessity," said Harry, after wishing Elinor good-morning.
Taylor would take me into his counting-house, to-morrow; and Hilson offers to make me an auctioneer. But I have chosen my profession, and I shall abide by it. I have no wish for wealth. I should never be tempted to sell my soul for money no, nor my good name, or my independence: for I do not feel willing to barter even my time and tastes for riches.

But I have not a creature near me to sympathize with me!" "Do not say that; your father is down-stairs, grown old with grief during the last week!" Mrs. Hilson did not answer. "You have known me all your life, from the time you were a child," added Miss Patsey, taking her cousin's passive hand in her own; "and I ask, if you have ever known me to deceive you by an untruth?"

Hilson; you must be glad to get rid of the workmen," remarked Miss Wyllys. "Yes they have been long enough about it; but Pa has old-fashioned notions about having everything substantial, and well done; he said Emmeline and I might choose the plan, and have everything as we liked; but he must have his own time to do it in. However, it is a delightful mansion, now.
Hilson, ran up to him to tell the great news that they were not going back to Charleston, but were to stay in New York all winter, 'mamma, and Jane, and all of them, except papa and Edward. The varying expression of surprise, pleasure, and distress, that passed over Hazlehurst's face, as he received the intelligence, would have astonished and perplexed Miss Agnes, had she seen it.
