He stood like one stupified: the hum of voices scarcely reached his ear he saw figures moving before him; but he did not distinguish who or what they were. Supper was announced, and the room emptied fast, whilst he remained motionless leaning on the E O table. He was roused by Mrs. Luttridge saying, as she passed, "Don't you sup to-night, Mr. Hervey?"
