"Who was it?" asked Cartoner, with the simple directness of those who have no self-consciousness who are absorbed, but not in themselves, as are the majority of men and women. "My niece, Netty Cahere." "She is pretty," said Cartoner, with a spontaneity which would have meant much to feminine ears. "You'll fall in love with her," said Mangles, lugubriously. "They all do.
She did not count Paul Deulin, who was quite old, of course, though interesting enough when he chose to be. Netty walked backward and forward down the broad walk in the middle of those gardens, which the government have so frequently had to close against public manifestations, and wondered why Martin was so long in coming.
Seven hundred and fifty for Dick, and a thousand for the broker seventeen hundred and fifty dollars more to be raised at once; and the two thousand just received from Herresford all gone. Netty entered the room at the moment. "Ah, here you are, father!" she cried, going over to the hearthrug and dropping down before the fire. "Why didn't you come in to breakfast? Didn't you hear the gong?
She understood from the servant, who spoke a little German, that they had gone to their country house, a few miles from Warsaw. The next morning Netty went for a walk in the Saski Gardens. The weather had changed suddenly. It was quite mild and springlike. At last the grip of winter seemed to be slackening.
She walked up the steps of the tall house and sounded the knocker, and waited with great anxiety until the door was opened. It was opened, not by a servant, who in all probability would have sent Netty away, but by no less a person than Mrs. Holmes herself. "Why, Susy!" cried the lady, starting back; "who would suppose that I should see you here, and the dear baby too? What is the matter?"
He could scarcely open his languid eyes, his little face was deadly pale, and at times a shudder ran through his frame. Mrs. Court came and looked at him ominously. "You'd better have left him with me," she said. "He's eaten something that has disagreed with him, and now he'll have convulsions and die." "Oh! don't say such cruel things," cried poor Netty. Mrs.

Netty jumped up and, staggering under the weight of the heavy baby, approached the spot where Ben was waiting for her. "Such a lark!" he continued; "you never heard tell anything like it.
I have come just in time to walk back with you, if you will permit it." And he did not wait for permission, but walked on beside Netty, while Martin took off his hat and went in the opposite direction. It was not the way he wanted to go but something had made him think that Netty desired him to go, and he departed with a pleasant sensation as of a secret possessed in common with her.
"Is it that he has fallen in love or is it that he desires information which she alone can give him?" he asked at length. Which was, after all, the most natural thought that could come to him at that moment and in that place. For every man must see the world through his own eyes. Before she could answer him the town clocks struck ten. Netty rose hastily and drew her cloak round her.
Cavely said. Tinman appeared at Elba to demand a private interview with Annette. His hat was blown into the hall as the door opened to him, and he himself was glad to be sheltered by the door, so violent was the gale. Annette and her father were sitting together.
