Hermione nodded kindly to her visitor, but did not speak; and Margaret, accustomed to this reception, and in the present case not sorry for it, as it gave her an interval to collect her thoughts, stooped over Monna Paula's frame and observed, in a half whisper, "You were just so far as that rose, Monna, when I first saw you see, there is the mark where I had the bad luck to spoil the flower in trying to catch the stitch I was little above fifteen then.
In obedience to Paula's command and a little push upon her shoulder, the V. A. D. sat down at the piano and touched the notes softly, feeling for the key, then fell in with the violin.

Immediately, from his instrument, there seemed to flow a richer, fuller stream of melody.

"And I am to say that before all those men?" asked Katharina doubtfully. "You must indeed, you kind little angel!" cried Orion tenderly.
His inflection struck Mary as a little too casual and reminded her that it was his first mention of her stepmother's name. This roused her attention. "Oh, Paula's off playing with Rush," she said.
