My trunks were standing strapped

upon remaining until the next day to
attend to the last things necessary, and
she had given consent very reluctantly,

"You forget, aunt, Claude is to spend

Besides, you have left two or three of

your absolute presence would scare

her head with rather an unbelieying air.
and the last look had, as she leaned
from the carriage window to wave her
hand in adieu, was one of loving anxiety.
But on my own face was no shadow of

little pardonable pride at its reflection

failed to echo mine, aud when the clock
upon the mantel chimed eleven silvery
strokes, and he rose to go, he said, very
