But Gabriel renewed his enthusiasm for Bethune as soon as he had an opportunity to see Nan. These opportunities became rarer and rarer as the days went by. Sometimes she was friendly and familiar, as on the day when, she went home with him to hear the sto%Y of poor Margaret Gather; but oftener she was cool and dignthed, and appeared to be inclined to patronlze. This was certainly her atti- tude when Gabriel began to sing the praises of Francis Bethune when, on one occasion, he had met her on the street.
