If she had been depressed before, she suddenly became gay; if she had been animated, she became jubilant. She sang, and joked, and danced, and played, with an excess of jocosity that jarred him painfully. He gave her credit for uncommon intelligence, and undoubtedly she had been educated above the position in life she was content to occupy.
Wesley Tiffles had, as usual, something enlivening to tell. "Got the funniest piece of news for you, my dear fellow!" said he. "Anything funny is always welcome, Tiffles," said he, closing his folio, that he might not appear to obstruct his friend's jocosity.
The table set, the old woman brought in a pair of fowls ready carved in a dish, and placing three chairs, left the room. The old man hesitated a moment, and then, rising from his chair, placed a large screen in front of the fire and slowly extinguished the candles. "'Blind man's holiday, he said, with clumsy jocosity, and groping his way to the door opened it.
There seemed a heart to Mr. Dennant's gravity; as though for once he were looking grave because he felt so. But glancing up at Shelton, his dry jocosity reappeared at once. "What a day for ducks!" he said; and again there was unmistakable alarm about the eye. Was it possible that he, too, dreaded something? "I can't express " began Shelton hurriedly.

"There may be terror, and there may be gloom, but I shall watch my children's children play upon the braes of Shira Glen."

The man before the fire drank deep in self-communion, and his face was grave. For the first time that crowded day he could look his future in the face.
But at last one evening he arrived at Medburn House after dinner with the look of one whose mind is magnificently made up. By common consent, the drawing-room was abandoned to him and Alice, and when they emerged, Alice held her head triumphantly, and her lover was all jocosity and self-satisfaction.
Church, I was glad to see you puzzled once in your life!" said Mr. Ruck, with friendly jocosity. "But you came pretty straight for all that. I had hard work to keep up with you."
