"Darling," he said, looking at his watch, "I must be off directly, but I should like to see the boy." Kitty started. She rang, and the child was brought down. He sat on Kitty's knee, and Ashe coming to the sofa, threw an arm round them both. "You are not a bad-looking pair," he said, kissing first Kitty and then the baby. "But he's rather pale, Kitty. I think he wants the country."
The mare fretted and raced up the opposite slope, while the girl leant forward in her saddle and sought to relieve the staunch little creature's agony by sweeping the poisonous insects from her steaming coat. The mare pressed on. Suddenly she threw up her head and snorted violently. Prudence was startled. Something had distracted Kitty's attention, and her wide-set ears were cocked in alarm.
That what had happened had been no mere contretemps, no mere accident of trains and coaches, was plain enough from Kitty's eyes from all that William did not say, no less than from what he said. And still this levity! this inconceivable levity! Was it true, as she knew was said, that William had no high sense of honor, that he failed in delicacy and dignity?
Not a foreigner you entertain, not a dinner you give, not a thing you wear, will ever be described next morning.

If we had their troubles and vexations we might not be half so pleasant as they are." Betty was silent. "Do you think Martha's hole and mine is nicer than Kitty's?" she said at last. "Well, I think in some ways it may be. At any rate you know Kitty has no sisters to play with, and very little of this country life you all enjoy so much.

"I know nothing whatever about her secrets; I I have nothing to do with them," said Elma in an agitated voice, which she endeavored in vain to render calm.

"I do!" She and Kitty both looked up at the sound of the mocking, contemptuous voice, Nan was standing, fully dressed, on the threshold of the room. "Nan!" Penelope almost gasped.
'That was very thoughtful of Phoebe, was my reply. 'Well, now, I thought you would be pleased, though it is only a trifle. But that is not all.
