manner, while she looked into my eyes, say

sort Of pen -and-ink attempt at blush, that

cided, and, for that reason, would accompany
Lord Wardleigh to town on the following
. week, when she hoped to see me, &C., &C.
The cold key feeling returned as read this,

! Wardleigh's gaze fixed on me with an I'M

was rapture 10 me; and yet, as my heart
