Irene's eyes followed them with a wistful look as they went off together round the piazza and through the parlors, the girl playing the part of the hostess, and inducting him into the mild gayeties of the place. The height of the season was over, she said; there had been tableaux and charades, and broom-drills, and readings and charity concerts.
