In the pauses, Mara inquired, prettily, how he found the Kittridges, and reproved him playfully for staying, in despite of his promise to come home. Moses answered with an effort to appear easy and playful, that there was no reason, it appeared, to hurry on her account, since she had been so pleasantly engaged.
"I believe I could, sir." "Well, try it." She went through without missing a word. Mr. Sewell then, for curiosity, heard her repeat all the other forms of the lesson. She had them perfectly. "Very well, my little girl," he said, "have you been studying, too?" "I heard Moses say them so often," said Mara, in an apologetic manner, "I couldn't help learning them."
Say no if you feel no. Wouldn't you like to help me all the time and earn money in this way?" A slow deep flush overspread Ella's face as she stood for a moment with downcast eyes as if oppressed with a sense of shame. Then she said humbly: "Forgive me, Mara. I've been very thoughtless. I didn't think you would take my ranting as an appeal to your generous heart.
I've got to unburden my feelings somewhere; although I expect sympathy from no one, I believe in the angels' song of 'Peace on earth and good will toward men."

"Well, Mara," said Sally, after an interval of silence, "all has come out right. You see that it was you whom he loved.

"You are not heartless, Sally," said Mara; "it's the enchanted princess asleep; the right one hasn't come to waken her." "Maybe so," said Sally, with her old light laugh.
He persuaded Mara to give him her pink sun-bonnet, which he placed for a pennon on a stick at the end of the boat, while he made a vehement dashing with another, first on one side of the boat and then on the other, spattering the water in diamond showers, to the infinite amusement of the little maiden.
"Will you hurt her very much, lady Mara?" said the girl I have just mentioned, putting her warm little hand in mine. "Yes; I am afraid I must; I fear she will make me!" answered Mara. "It would be cruel to hurt her too little. It would have all to be done again, only worse." "May I stop with her?" "No, my child. She loves no one, therefore she cannot be WITH any one.

Miss Cameron is in reality the Countess Therese Mara- Dafanda familiarly and lovingly known in her own land as the Countess Ted. She was visiting in this country when the war broke out.
"I think we shall be as safe here as anywhere until we can reach one of the squares. Put your hand, Mara, over Mrs. Hunter's heart, and see if it is beating." "Yes, faintly."
