Constance hesitated a moment, and then, misinterpreting his silence, a wild gladness flamed in her eyes, and she flung her arms about his neck and said: "You relent! you relent! You can love me you will love me! Oh, say you will, my own, my worshipped Conrad!" Conrad groaned aloud. A sickly pallor overspread his countenance, and he trembled like an aspen.
She meant to be giving her little heart a happy flutter, and filling her with sensations of delightful self-consequence; and, misinterpreting Fanny's blushes, still thought she must be doing so when she went to her after the two first dances, and said, with a significant look, "Perhaps you can tell me why my brother goes to town to-morrow? He says he has business there, but will not tell me what.
"You smile at all this bravery," said he, wilfully misinterpreting my look of admiration; "but remember where we are going." "On the contrary," interrupted I; "but it is the first time I knew you had the cross of the Legion."

"I'm coming to see you the minute I get back and tell you all about everybody," said he. How was she to forbid him to come before Susan and Jane! She could only be silent. "Do come, Mr. Worthington," said Susan, warmly, wondering at Cynthia's coldness and, indeed, misinterpreting it. "I am sure she will be glad to see you. And we shall always make you welcome, at any rate."
Thirdly, by mixing with the Scripture divers reliques of the Religion, and much of the vain and erroneous Philosophy of the Greeks, especially of Aristotle.
