"The men are ready, sir," said the sergeant, entering at the moment. "She is gone," said I, following out my own sad train of thought, and pointing to the vacant stall where her pony used to stand. "Mademoiselle Minette " "Yes, what of her where is she?" "Marched with the cuirassier brigade that passed here last night at twelve o'clock.
'I will come again, Mr Jones, and see you, and Mrs Jones, and the little children, said Minette, who was hugging Mr Jones warmly. He took her up in his arms, kissed her, and put her into the cab next her mother, who had been placed therein by Rowland. Gladys' farewells were the last.
But I have much to do and must be off," and with a hasty shake of the hand he hurried away again. Cuthbert looked after him. "The poor fellow is fast qualifying for a mad-house," he said; "he has changed sadly, his cheeks are hollow and his eyes unnaturally brilliant. Those patches of color on his cheeks are signs of fever rather than of health. That woman, Minette, is responsible for this ruin.
When she read the words, 'That it may please Thee to have mercy upon all men, she paused, and added earnestly, 'especially upon him for whom we now desire to pray, and little Minette added to this, 'that is my poor papa.
"What is it, Minette?" said I, for the third time, as I saw her lean her head from out the narrow casement, and look down into the valley beside the river; "what do you see there?"

'But you won't go; it is moonlight now a pretty moon I see it. It will light you home. The 'pretty moon' rather frightened Miss Gwynne, who said that if she did not go, she would have the servants in search of her.
She was a superb Cyprus cat, all gray; but, alas! one day she took a walk in the street, and they caught her, and then indeed it was all over with her. I only hope Minette will not get out, but she is so lean that they would find little but bones and fur." "Ah! how I wish I could take you and her home to Uncle Joe, and give you both good bread and milk!

She seemed to take up the teapot mechanically, and began to pour out the tea; Gladys did not attempt to sit down, but waited upon her and Minette, as if she were, indeed, the servant she professed to be.
'No, Netta dearest Netta! it is I, Rowland your brother, said Rowland, supporting his fainting sister back into the room. 'Uncle! Uncle Rowland! I am so glad! exclaimed a little voice, as Minette ran towards him and clasped his knees.
