"Oh, I don't care Tor the hotel
thanks. and believe, Miss Young. Won
would. would you not, prefer to finish
vonr sketch os that yacht? It will he
,on done now.
Yes, perhaps, should; that is, /
think that I ought to finish it,
All ,s;a'it, Paget ven join you in
fise minutes. I'd just like to sketch
the coast IN the distance myself; It looks
50 we'll just now with the sun on it,
Well, don't be long coming down. !"
Had you not better get your sketch
| book out now they have gone, Mr.. Oar
| ley, and begin the coast ?
Oh, my sketch-book Oh, suppos g
| have forgotten it =
Never mind, here's leaf from my
block; and here's pencil"
Thanks; but don't want to sketch
at all"
"You are changeable, indeed !'
Il want to sit here and talk to you
and look at you, as you are going away
| tomorrow"
''But if YOU look at me shall be en-
barrassed and unable to sketch. too. Be
sides, you know the coast looks so we'll
/ just now, with the sun on it."
| ''Bother the coast"
'What, the coast that you used to
rave about, with its grass MOSES of rock
and the white spray darting up in clouds
against it You used to say it reminded
you of what-what did it remind
! YOU of 2"
81 really don't know. But I wish
you were not going away tomorrow. I
don't know when l shall see you again,
if ! ever do.
"Why, mother asked you to come
and see us, if you ever found yourself in
| New York"
'If ever do! I suppose 1 should
run over from Boston and you will ask
me to dinner; and then you would show
me your house, and, perhaps, your fa-
vorite seat in the library; and Mrs
Young would be very distant, and you
would be very Stiff and reserved, and un-
like what you are at Mt. Desert
"What "a splendid picture, down to
the easy-chair, even! And my good
brother viii look at you through his eye
CLASS, and offer you cigar, and say
queer fellow or good fellow of you,
should think, when you are gone. But
YOU won't really leave Mt. Desert?'
Yes, l shall, and knock about some
where, spending my time as uselessly as
! usually spend it. But do you truly
expect me to come some day, Miss
Ioung?"
"Ycs; I shall be very much disap-
pointed if you don't come. We hav.
l.en such good friends. and mother
likes YOU, and-and We nave been such
good friends, you know
Then l certainly shall try to come.
And, perhaps-will you let me begin to
talk again as l did that day at Rock
land =
81 don't know. But can't sketch if
you put your arm across my block, MIR.
Darley. And think it's quite finished
now-I could finish it at home"
"Never mind finishing it; let rs finish
something else, which may remain un-
finished forever If we don't do 1t now.
Please look me in the eyes, and let me
so on with what said on the beach at
Rockland month ago. Only then you
said it was very painful and sudden, and
YOU had never dreamed of it. Have
you ever done so since q
"Mr. Darley, 1 think-but I hear
Mr.. Paget calling. Wemust go home. y
But may not come home with you
i mean to New York, and further
home %
''Darlev, Darley. where are you?'
Your eyes look yes, and your lips
say Yes Thank you, thank you; it
shall be indeed a home.'
.'Darley. l say. didn't you hear me
b: long nve minutes Your sketch
takes It's getting late, and Mrs.
Young is in the carriage. But hope
nothing is the matter, Miss Young?'
No; nothing at all, thank you.
No. nothing is the matter, Paget
