She stopped, pressing Stella's hand very tightly to her little quivering bosom, and there followed a pause, a deep silence that seemed to have in it something of an almost suffocating quality. Tessa moved at last because it became unbearable, moved and looked down into Stella's face as if half afraid.
"Everything, thank you," Stella answered, drawing her hostess gently down to sit on the side of the bed. "I feel rested already. Somehow your presence is restful." "Oh, my dear!" Mrs. Ralston flushed with pleasure. Not many were the compliments that came her way. "And you feel as if you will be able to sleep?" Stella's eyes looked unutterably weary; yet she shook her head.

"You think he knocked me overboard, believing I was some one else? That all this has happened on account of my name?" "No doubt of it. You have been the victim of mistaken identity. So have we, for the matter of that." He paused suddenly, overwhelmed by a swift thought. "But what about Fred?" he asked breathless. Stella's hand touched his arm.
No one to spy on you no one to carry tales no next-door neighbours. How's London?" and with a sneer he turned back to his wife. "Oh, I know it doesn't suit Stella. Stella's so sociable. Stella wants parties. Stella likes frocks. Stella loves to hang herself about with beads, don't you, my darling?" But Ballantyne had overtried her to-night.
In love "to divide is not to take away," as Shelley says; and Dingley's half of the tender things said to MD is equal to any whole, and takes nothing from the whole of Stella's half.

He withdrew, feeling that he had made a very poor impression. Stella's eyes had been on him in a very inquiring way. She looked after him when he had gone. "Isn't he nice?" she said to Myrtle frankly. "I think so," replied Myrtle; "kind o'. He's too moody, though." "What makes him?" "He isn't very strong." "I think he has a nice smile." "I'll tell him!"
