curved slightly, terminating at a closed
door. Scarce a reflection Of the candle

on the green sleeve, smiling from his

They had taken q step or two, when
Grant halted, holding her arm tightly

Would Lieutenant Fortesque spare

Once again we bowed with all the
punctilious ceremony of mutual dis

her ear as they disappeared in the
stream Of people. My cheeks burned
with indignation at his cool insolence.
What could It mean? Was he merely
seeking a quarrel? or was there some
thing else concealed behind this re-
quest? In either case l knew not how
to act, and yet felt no inclination to
avoid the meeting. Studying owe the
situation l pushed my way through

lingering on the stairs, but, except for
the servants, the parlorG below were

coming. | was eager to have this az
fair settled, and be off. l compre-
hended now the risk | had assumed
