A king's son, a Rana of Roorbunder! She became very sympathetic. Again she urged him to sit down. "My nation never sits before a woman," he proudly answered. "But I will sit beside you," she coaxed, pushing him to a corner. He resisted her and went to the window. Lora again joined him. The man piqued her. He was mysterious and very unlike Mr.
"Oh, yes," said Jack, "the biggest thing ever. Sort of like a Durbar, you know, with elephants and " "No, it isn't going to be like that," said Lora. "They've given up that plan. It's going to be ever so much nicer than that! They're going to have " "Don't tell me!" cried Patty, laughing, as she clapped her hands over her ears. "I'd rather not hear about it!
Lora stood by her father's side and Elsie too was very near, both full of loving care for him in this time of sore trial. And Adelaide's first thought, first embrace, were for him. They wept a moment in each other's arms. "Is she is she alive?" he faltered. "Yes, father, and we hope may get up again.
"Ah! I would give anything to feel as you do," said Lora, sighing. "But tell me, Elsie, did you not feel afraid for the rest of us? I'm sure you must know that we are not Christians; we don't even pretend to be." Elsie blushed and looked down.
"De carriage am waiting, ladies, an' missus in a hurry," said a servant, opening the door; and Miss Day hastily quitted the room, followed by Louise and Lora; and Elsie was left alone.

"I was terribly frightened, and so were the rest all but you, Elsie; tell me, do what kept you from being afraid?"
"But I never saw a classic marble figure wave her arms about," objected Patty; "indeed, the most classic ones don't have arms to wave. Look at the Milo Venus." "I can't look at her, she isn't here. But I look at you, and I see you're just the one for 'The Spirit of the Sea. Isn't she, Lora?"
There I learned that the duns had had you conveyed to a certain little domain chief town, Clichy Castle. "So off I went to Leon de Lora, and told him, for a joke, that you could not leave your country quarters for lack of four thousand francs, and that you would spoil your future prospects if you did not make your bow to your royal patron.
And the whole performance unnerved her, and gave her a chance to insist on having a beauty sleep." "Which she doesn't need for THAT purpose," laughed Lora, good- naturedly. "But I fear we are keeping you, Miss Dow. Don't you want to get into a morning frock? Wouldn't you feel more comfortable?"
Conversation, hitherto confined to the inevitable circle of racing, horses, hammerings on the Bourse, the different occupations of the lions themselves, and the scandals of the town, showed a tendency to break up into intimate tete-a-tete, the dialogues of two hearts. And at this stage, at a signal from Carabine to Leon de Lora, Bixiou, la Palferine, and du Tillet, love came under discussion.
