pany.
These were the people whom MISS
Champion found assembled at Endeh
Vale, and 1 think her first sensation on
being introduced to them was a shsht
chagrin at finding no great people among
them.
Winifred had arrived at Endon VALE
and was sitting in her room, dressed for
dinner, until Lady Grace should come in,
as she had promised, and take her down
stairs into the drawing room.
Mrs. Champion had been prevented
paying a visit to Lady Grace, as she had
intended; but she, nevertheless, fulfilled
her promise of sending Winifred in her
| carriage.
When the latter arrived she found her
| kind hostess alone, all her guests being
away on an excursion to the neighbor1ng
woods. They had spent pleasant after
noon together, and just as the wheels OF
the returning carriages were heard, Lady
Grace sent her young friend away to
dress, promising to call for her On he1
| way to the drawing room. This she did
and when they entered the drawing room
there was no one in it but Lord Harold
Erskine, who came up Immediately to be
introduced.
Harold" said his aunt, 81 leave Mis-:
Eyre to your charge until dinner time, sc
do your best to amuse her"
Lord Harold forthwith devoted himself
to being agreeable to his new acquaint
ance, and succeeded perfectly. She fel
quite at her ease. and chatted gayly tt
him. Presently the door at the furthe
end of the room opened and a magnifi
cent young lady, attired in sweeping lac
and silk, entered. The crimson colo
flushed into Winifred's cheeks as sh
recognized her naughty cousin. The.

"What will she do?" wondered Wini

wait until Lady Grace introduces usY"
