Maude Leonard and a young gentleman were seated in it. Her mother called at our house yesterday afternoon, and told mother that Maude and Mr. Belmont were engaged. When Meg entered the sitting-room at home, Laurie sprang from behind the door with a little scream. The look of astonishment on Laurie's pretty face at such a question, was so comical that Meg laughed until the tears came. I didn't know but you had.
Engagements seem to be the order of the day.
I have heard of two this afternoon. And they are of two of our class-mates, too, Laurie. If Meg had looked at Laurie, she would have been surprised at the look of actual terror on her face. Well, Maude is one. Laurie asked the question in almost a whisper.
