From what I have already said the reader will not be surprised to learn that the acquaintance begun at Mrs. Milford's party terminated in a matrimonial engagement; with the free consent of all who had a right to a voice in the matter. When the matter became known it caused quite a sensation in the circles in which Dr.
WORM. Has resolved to inflict the most exemplary punishment. LOUISA. This was still wanting! This! Yes, in truth. I now feel that my heart does love another besides Ferdinand! That could not be allowed to escape! The prince's dignity offended? Heavenly Providence! Save, oh! save my sinking faith! WORM. Must choose between Lady Milford's hand and his father's curse and disinheritance.
"There is nothing very singular in that," replied Miss Carlton, "for I presume she is not often invited to fashionable parties, and I suppose it is owing to Mrs. Milford's two little girls being her pupils that we find her among their guests; but as you seem so much interested, I will tell you all I know of the person in question.
LOUISA. Terrible choice! and yet yet is he the happier of the two. He has no father to lose and yet to have none is misery enough! My father imprisoned for treason my Ferdinand compelled to choose between Lady Milford's hand or a parent's curse and disinheritance! Truly admirable! for even villany so perfect is perfection! Perfection? No! something is still wanting to complete that.
Then she began a letter to Barby, telling all about her wonderful morning. But it seemed to her she had barely begun, when Mr. Milford's chauffeur came driving back with something for her in a paper bag. When she peeped inside she was so astonished she nearly dropped it.

SCENE VI. A magnificent Saloon in LADY MILFORD'S House. Enter LADY MILFORD and SOPHIA. LADY MILFORD. You have seen her then? Will she come? SOPHIA. Yes, in a moment! She was in dishabille, and only requested time to change her dress. LADY MILFORD. Speak not of her. Silence! I tremble like a criminal at the prospect of beholding that fortunate woman whose heart sympathizes thus cruelly with my own.
"It means, colonel," said Jimmie Dale softly, "that Thorold couldn't come, that old Jake found one of the diamonds cloudy and with a flaw, and that the deal fell through and it means, colonel, that you will never be called upon to steal Mrs. Milford's diamonds again; there is a letter here that " "The letter!" The old gentleman was staggering toward the desk.
At Orleans an acquaintance of Mr. Milford's in a feed store had much to say about them. "I don't know whether they camp out of consideration for the wild-cat, or whether it's because they're attached to that rovin', gypsy life.
But mostly she wrote about the prism, and what Uncle Darcy had told her about the magic glass of Hope. When it was done she went in to Belle. "May I go down to the post-office to mail this and stop on my way back at the Green Stairs and see if Richard can come and play with me?" she asked. Belle considered. "Better stay down at the Milford's to do your playing," she answered.
Then Georgina remembered something that must have happened before she was carried home from the bungalow Captain Kidd squirming out of Tippy's arms, and Tippy with the tears streaming down her face trying to hold him and hug him as if he had been a person, and the Milford's cook saying: "If it hadn't been for the little beast's barkin' they'd have been dead in a few minutes more.
