Lady Byrne was not yet down, and her stepsisters were out; so there was no one to see her blushes and add to her embarrassment. In the surprise of seeing him, all her presence of mind vanished, leaving her speechless and trembling with agitation. For his part, David approached her with a confusion as obvious as her own.
That was where her own happiness would break down. There were her stepsisters, who would probably die before herself; there was Henrietta, who would form ties of her own; and there was no one else.
I should think few men ever loved more passionately, yet picturesquely, than I loved those two beautiful stepsisters when for their sakes I started out upon a criminal, motor-boating career.
Still he belonged to one of the heathen gods, and so in later Middle-Age superstition he is assigned to the Devil, who even takes his shape when he presides at the Witches' Sabbath. Nor in this list must the little birds be forgotten which taught the man's daughter, in the tale of 'The Two Stepsisters', No. xvii, how to act in her trials.

Poor dear Reginald! I was very fond of him, but half our friends believe he has been dead for years. I shall wear black for three months, of course, but a little dinner to the Sales would not be out of place. We have a duty to the living as well as to the dead. Leaving her stepsisters to argue this point, Rose went upstairs and looked into Reginald's old room.
