Colwyn's bridlings and tossings, was nervous and flurried, sat on the edge of a chair, and looked poor, helpless, elderly woman as if she had never entered a drawing-room before. The only comfort Janetta had out of the visit was a moment's conversation in the hall when Mrs. Brand took her leave. "My dear my dear," said Mrs.
