Then she looked at the third person, still standing modestly in the background, and uttered a little cry. "Jules! M. La Touche!" He came forward, a smile on his face, and his hand frankly outstretched, while Eeny blushingly hovered aloof. "I am very happy to see you again, Mrs. Stanford very happy to see you looking so well!" So they had met, and this was all!
Eeny stood still, looking at her, too much surprised to speak. While she had been hunting everywhere for her, Kate had been closeted with the mysterious invalid all the afternoon. "Time to dress for dinner, I suppose, Eeny," she said looking at her watch. "One must dress, if papa brings company. Did you see Eunice? Is she in my room?" "I don't know. Have you been in there with Mr.
"He will be here presently," he said, but he said it with an air of restraint; and Kate, leaning forward with that radiant smile of hers, began telling Eeny some story of their life at sea that made her forget Mr. Richards. They adjourned to the drawing-room after dinner. A long, low, sumptuous apartment, very stately and very grand, and decorated with exquisite taste. "What a beautiful room!"
That is what I came here to ask you to do." "Certainly, with pleasure," said Eeny. "Rose will wait for no second invitation when she hears who have come. Will they arrive this evening?" "Probably. They may come at any moment. And here I am lingering. Write the note at once, Eeny, and send Sam back to the village with it."
Doctor Frank's anxious eyes counted them; there were the Captain and Grace, Harry and Agnes, and last of all, Kate. The servants were all there, but there was one missing still. Doctor Frank was by Grace's side in a moment. "Where is Eeny?" "Eeny! Is she not here?" "No. Good Heaven, Grace! Is she in the house?" Grace looked around wildly. "Yes, yes! She must be! Oh, Frank "
It was days and days before he was strong enough to think, or speak, or move. He slept, by fits and starts, nearly all day long, recognizing his sister, and Kate, and Eeny, and the Captain, by his bedside, without wondering how they came to be there, or what had ailed him.
He treated her as he treated Eeny and Grace, courteously, genially, but nothing more. He was all devotion to his beautiful betrothed, and Kate what words can paint the infinite happiness of her face! All that was wanting to make her beauty perfect was found.
You haven't seen Grace's brother yet, have you Agnes?" "No," said the seamstress, looking out, "is that he?" He was too far off to be seen distinctly; but a moment or two later he was near. A sudden exclamation from the seamstress made Eeny look at her in surprise. She had sprang up and sat down again, white, and startled, and trembling. "What's the matter?" said Eeny. "Do you know Doctor Danton?"
Then came the gallop of horse's hoofs, and a lad rode up the avenue and disappeared round the angle of the building. Ten minutes after there was a tap at the door, followed by the entrance of a servant, with a dark Canadian face. "A letter, Miss Grace," said the girl, in French. "Bring in some more coal, Babette," said Miss Grace, also in French, taking the letter. "Where is Miss Eeny?"
A dismal March afternoon, an earth hard as iron, with black frost, a wild wind troubling the gaunt trees, and howling mournfully around the old house. A desolate, wintry afternoon, threatening storm; but despite its ominous aspect, the young people at Danton Hall had gone off for a long sleigh-ride. Reginald and Kate had the little shell-shaped cutter, Rose, Eeny, Mr.
