So, make out your list, Dotty, and invite them by telephone at once. Mrs. Berry will help you, and will arrange all details. Let me see, you can have that party to-morrow night; go to the opera to-night; go to Muriel's party on Friday night, and go home on Saturday. The museum we can visit any afternoon. I thank you for your kind attention."
Tod was laying the dinner, and John stood at the window playing with his three boys. He turned abruptly, and saw all the chairs placed round the table all save one. "Where is Muriel's chair, Mrs. Tod?" "Sir, she says she feels so tired like, she'd rather not come down to-day," answered Mrs. Tod, hesitatingly. "Not come down?" "Maybe better not, Mr. Halifax. Look out at the snow.
Finally he stooped to pick up the crushed rose on the floor, and then she came back and stood before him. "I promise you I will not lay a straw in the path of Muriel's happiness, and it shall not be my fault if Mr. Granville fails in a lover's devoir. I was tempted to entice him from his sworn allegiance. Why should I deny what you know so well?
"After all," Colston resumed, "I have no real authority; Muriel's of age and she has no property. Still, I'm fond of the girl and am anxious about her future. I think you ought to satisfy me that you're able to take care of her." "I'll try." Prescott gave him a concise account of his means, his farming operations, and his plans for the future; and Colston listened with satisfaction.

Could one calmly contemplate her throwing herself away on a working farmer?" He had appealed to his daughter's strongest prejudices, which had for a while sunk into abeyance and then sprung into life again.
"We must give some," persisted Muriel, "because the Holdens said they were going to ask me for Thursday, and I particularly want to go there. I expect I shall hear from Trissie this evening.
