Vizard told them he had been through all the rooms; the only chance now was the dining-room. "No," said Fanny, "we wish to get home; we are rather tired." They went to the rail, and at first Vizard was rather talkative, making his comments on the players; but the ladies were taciturn, and brought him to a stand. "Ah," thought he, "nothing interests them now; Adonis is not here."

As Fanny skipped out and closed the door, Miss Maitland turned to Vizard, with lean finger still pointing after Fanny, and uttered a monosyllable: "LAME!" Vizard burst out laughing. "La fourbe!" said he. "Miss Maitland, accept my compliments; you possess the key to a sex no fellow can unlock. And, now I have found an interpreter, I begin to be interested in this little comedy.

Why did you not tell me Miss Vizard was gone?" "I don't know," said Fanny, coloring up. "She told me not." "Who?" "Why, the Vixen in command. She orders everybody." "And why did she forbid you?" "Don't know." "Yes, you do. Kiss me, dear. There, I will distress you with no more questions. Why should I? Our instincts seldom deceive us.

They were told at length, but amounted in substance to this: That she was awaked by the noise which the ruffians made in breaking into the house, and by the resistance made by one or two of the servants, which was soon overpowered; that, dressing herself hastily, she ran downstairs, and having seen, in the scuffle, Westburnflat's vizard drop off, imprudently named him by his name, and besought him for mercy; that the ruffian instantly stopped her mouth, dragged her from the house, and placed her on horseback, behind one of his associates.

Clearly, if so, he would not leave England for months. She resolved to know more; and just before dinner she wrote a line to Ashmead, and requested him to call on her immediately. That day she dined with Vizard and the ladies. She sat at Vizard's right hand, and he told her how proud, and happy he was to see her there. She blushed faintly, but made no reply. She retired soon after dinner.

The same incident repeated itself every night she sung, and at every town. At last she spoke about it to Ashmead, in the vague, suggestive way her sex excels in. "I presume you have observed the people in front." "Yes, madam. Two in particular." "Could you not advise him to desist?" "Which of 'em, madam?" "Mr. Vizard, of course.

"Of course we are all going," said she. "Except one," said Vizard, dryly. "That is too bad," said Fanny. "Here he drives us all to visit his blue-stocking, but he takes good care not to go himself." "Perhaps he prefers to visit her alone," suggested Severne. Zoe looked alarmed. "That is so," said Vizard. "Observe, I am learning her very phrases.

Meeting at Frankfort, these two found plenty to say to each other about home; and as Lord Uxmoor was alone, Vizard asked him to dine. "You will balance us," said he: "we are terribly overpetticoated, and one of them is an old maid. We generally dine at the table-d'hote, but I have ordered dinner here to-day: we are going to the opera at Homburg. You are not obliged to do that, you know.

May God help me and bring happiness to you!" said Hamilton, answering her question all too plainly. She drew his face down to hers and kissed his lips, till from very fear of himself he thrust her from him and led her weeping to the outer door. When Frances came out to Betty and me, she was holding her handkerchief to her eyes and her vizard was hanging by its chain.

"And so it is; but how can I, when I love her? No, we must have recourse to our benevolent tyrant again. He must get Miss Vizard back here, before my goddess is well enough to spread her wings and fly." Vizard looked puzzled. "This," said he "sounds like a riddle, or female logic." "It is both," said Rhoda. "Miss Dover, give him the mot d'e'nigme. I'm off to the patient I adore."
