After much persuasion, agreed to stay over
the evening and leave early in the morning.
While dressed for dinner fortified my mind
by recalling all the little incidents 1 could of
the fragrant heartiessness Of Miss Montagues

me in the park; she had behaved with unbe.
coming levity at the Dufferkins' dinner; and
to-day she stared me in the face and never even
saba word! Two can play at this game, and
did not doubt that could assume supreme in
difference, both to mother and daughter, for
one evening.
On entering the drawing-room, found my
host, Mrs Montague, and several other guests,
but not Geraldine; she came into the room last
of all, Just as dinner was announced. 1 was
introduced as Mr.. Ogg, but Mr.. BOttletOp did
not fail once or twice during dinner to address
