The letter was cast back into the box, locked up; there an end to it, or no interdiction of sleep. Sleep was a triumph. Aminta's healthy frame rode her over petty agitations of a blood uninflamed, as lightly as she swam the troubled sea-waters her body gloried to cleave. She woke in the morning peaceful and mildly reflective, like one who walks across green meadows.
Lord Ormont was cordial on the day of the secretary's installation; as if if one might dare to guess it some one had helped him to a friendly judgement. The lady of Aminta's eyes was absent at the luncheon table. She came into the room a step, to speak to Lord Ormont, dressed for a drive to pay a visit. The secretary was unnoticed.
Lawrence was changed, much warmer, pressing to be more than merely friendly. Aminta twice gave her cheek for kisses. The secretary had spoken of Mrs. Lawrence as having the look of a handsome boy; and Aminta's view of her now underwent a change likewise.
I will be bound to be Hang'd if thou hast not a hankering after Some young Wench; thou couldst never loiter Thus else; but I'll forgive thee now, and prithee go to My Lady Aminta's Lodgings; kiss her hand From me; and tell her, I am just returned from The Campain: mark that word, Sirrah.
