"Get me something to eat." "We are going to cook our suppers directly, dear. Now let us go and sit by that fire. I am afraid you won't find the supper very nice, but it is the best we have got. What is your name?" "I am the Countess Stephanie Woronski," the little maid said; "and what is your name?" "My name is Julian Wyatt." "It is a funny name," the child said; "but I think I like it."

Her golden hair fell over her shoulders, and the long loose jacket concealed the rest of her person. She spoke to them in Russian, in a high, clear voice: "I am the Countess Stephanie Woronski. I am glad to see you.

"It is as I said, Mr. Wyatt. Count Woronski wrote to me expressing his desire to present you with an estate here as some slight token, as he expressed it, of the enormous obligation under which you have placed him and the countess, his wife.

In purchasing them I have followed out the instructions of Count Woronski, and have had the benefit of the assistance of your brother in selecting an estate that would, he thought, from its situation, be agreeable to you." Julian looked at the speaker as if unable to take in the sense of his words. "I beg your pardon," he said hesitatingly. "I don't think I quite understand you."

"Count Woronski is a very wealthy nobleman. You have rendered to him and his wife one of the greatest services one man can render to another.

Petersburg, halting only for a few hours each night at post-houses. They had no difficulty in ascertaining where the Woronski palace was situated, and, taking a droski, drove there at once. Stephanie clapped her hands as she saw it. "You ought to have put on your cloak, Julian, and to have packed me up under it as you used to carry me, and to take me in like that."
