And there was Seaton's word for it. Seaton was a practical man, and always on the railway. What would she say when the train stopped? In anticipation he already heard the cry of the porters "Braeside all change!" The perspiration started on his brow. Why, there was sure to be a decent inn at Braeside, and he would do everything for her.
The bell which ordinarily signaled the end of the period of relaxation did not sound; for the first time in thousands of years the planet of Norlamin deserted its rigid schedule of life to listen to one Earth-woman, pouring out her very soul upon her incomparable violin. The final note of "Memories" died away in a diminuendo wail, and the musician almost collapsed into Seaton's arms.
He patted her head tenderly as she clung to his warlike breast; and she took him at his word; the tears ran swiftly and glistened in the very starlight. But, oh, how Seaton's heart yearned at all this!
I thanked papa for it; but he looked so blank I saw directly he knew nothing about it, and, now I think of it, it was Mr. Seaton. I am positive it was. Poor fellow! And I should not even know him if I saw him." Mr. Hazel observed, in a low voice, that Mr. Seaton's conduct did not seem wonderful to him.

Woman and girl pledged their good faith in a warm hand clasp, and Elsie left the office feeling like one from whose shoulders a heavy burden had suddenly dropped. "Where is Elsie?" was Marian Seaton's desperate inquiry, when at five minutes to eight she entered her room, following a fruitless search for her cousin. "Search me," shrugged Maizie. "Very likely Weatherbee never said a word to her.
"I do not feel well to-day; and I shall not try to read my fortune again when I am so nervous," replied Mrs. Thayer, evading Miss Seaton's question. Seeing that Mrs. Thayer wished to change the subject, Miss Seaton did not press her further. The two ladies remained together until dinner time, and Miss Seaton read a portion of "Eugene Aram" aloud.
