The night before the party, which had lasted a week, broke up, Lord Montfort came and sat by Lady Berengaria.
Clair; but the old general viewed this predilection with disfavor, because he had hoped that his own daughter would make a match with the major. But Louisa longed for the freedom of the woods. She was a horsewoman and a hunter, and she had a sentimental fondness for Indians.

She even disliked to shake hands, and often wished some one would put the custom out of fashion.
