INDIAN SUMMtt.
BY W. D. Ir

(Continued from last week) _
"There ia this to be remembered,"
he began, "which we don't consider in
our mere speculations upon any phase of
human affairs, and that is the -wonderful
degree of amelioration .that sup given
difficulty finds in the realization. It is
the anticipation, riot the experience,
that is the trial. In a case of this kind,
facts of temperament, of mere B880Cia-
tion, of union, work unexpected miti-
gationa ; they not only alleviate, _they
allay. You say that she cherishes an
illusion concerning you : :well, 'with wo-
men, nothing is so indestructible as an
illusion. Give them any chalice at all,
and all the forces of their nature corn-,
bineto preserve it. . And if, as you say,'
she is so dear to you, that in itself is al-
most sufficient I can, well understand
your misgivings, springing as they do
from atseneitive conscience; but we may
reasonably hope that they are exagger-
-
ated. Very probably there will not be
the rapture for her that there would be
ii-iyou were younger; but the
chances of final happiness are great=
yes, -Very considerable. She will learn
! to appreciate what is really best in yeu,
and you already underetanci her. Your
love for her is the key to the futu e.
Without that, of course-"
-1-' Oh, of course," interrupted Colvil e,
hastily. Every touch of this comforte 's
hand had been a sting; and he parted
with him in that feel ng of utter frierid-
lessness involving a man who hat taken
counsel upon the confession of half his
trouble. ,
Something in Mrs. Bowen's manner
when he met her next made him thihk
that perhaps Imogene had been telling
her of the sympathy he had *expressled
for her ill health. It was in the even-
ing, and Imogene and Mr. Morton were
looking over a copy of The Marble
Faun, whieh he had illustrated with
- photographs at Rome. Imogene asked
Colville to look at it ties, but he said he
'would examine it late ; he had ns
opinion of people turbo illustrated ' he
Marble Faun with photographs ; it s41r-
prised him that she seemed to find sor4ie-
thing novel and brilliant iu the idea.
Effie Bovien looked round where ahe
was kneeling cm . a chair beside the
couple with the book, and seeing Col-
ville wandering neglectedly about be-
fore he placed himself, she jumped cloWn
and ran and -caught his hand. , I.
,
"Well, what now VI' he asked, with a
dim smile, as she began to pull 'him to-
ward the sofa, When he should be ex-
pelled from Palazzo Pinti he would real-„
_
ly miss the worship of that little things
He knew that her inatulse had been. to
console him for his eaclusion from , he
pkaanres that Imogene'and Mr. Mortion
Were enjoying. , . I
"Nothing. Just talk," she said,
making him fast in a eomer of the sefa
by crouching tight agiiinst him
" What about? About which is the
pleasantest season ?"
"Oh no ; we've talked about that
so often-. Besides, of course you'd say
spring. 110W that it's coming on so
nicely."
"Do you think I'm. so changeable as
that? Haven't I always said winter
When this question of the liaisons as
Up? And I say it now. Sha'n't you )te
awfully sorry when you can't have a
pleasant little fire on the hearth like this
any nearer .
" Yea ; I knew. Bat it's very nice
haviug the Hewers, too. The grass Was
alt full of daisies to day -perfectly
powdered with them."
"To -day ? Where ?"
"At the Cascine. And in under the
trees there were millions of violetand
crows -feet. Mr. Urn -tint helped me to
get them for triainnia. -and Imogerie.
And we staid So long that when We
drove home the daisies had all shut up,
and the little pink kaves outside made
it look like a field of red clover. Are
you never going there any mote ?"
Mrs. Bowen came in. From the fact
that there was no greeting between her
and Mr. Morton, Colville inferred that
she was returning to the room after
having already been there. She stood a.
moment, with a little uncertainty, when
she had shaken hands with him, and
then dropped upon the eola beyond
Effie. The little girt ran one hand ,
through Colville's arm, and the other
through her mother's, and then gripped
them fast.
"New I have got you both," the
triumphed, and smiled first into Iter
face, and -then into his:
Be quiet, Effie," said her mother,
but she submitted.
"1 hope you're better for year drive
to day, Mrs. Bowen. Effie has been
telling me about, it."
"We staid out a long time. Yee, I
think the air did me good ; but I'M not
an invalid, you know."
" Oh no."
"I'm feeling a little fagged. And
the weather Was tempting. I suppose
you've been taking ene of year long
walks."
"No; I've searcely stirred out. I
usually feel like -going to meet the
spring a little more time half -way ;' but
this year I don't, sianehow."
"A good untey people are feeling
rather languid, I believe," said Mrs.
Bowen.
"I hope you'll get away from Flor-
ence," said Colville.
"Oh," she retinmed, with a faint
flush, Tm afraid Imogene exaggetated
that a little," raise added, "You are
very good." I
She was treating him More kindly
than she had ever done since that Sun-
day afternoon when he came in with
Imogene to say that be was going to
stay. It might be merely because she
had worn out her mood Of severity, as
people do, returning in good'- homer to
those with whom they were offeuded,
merely through the reconciling force of
time. She did not look at him, but
this was butter than meeting his eye
miththat interceptive glance. A strange
peace to -ached his heart. Imogene and
-the young clergyman at the table across
the room were intent on the book still;
he was explaining and expatiating, and
she listening. Colville saw that he had
a fine bead, and an intelligent; hand
some, gentle face. When he turned
again to Mrs. Bowen it was with the il-
lusion that she had been saying sortie -
thing ; but she was,' in fast, sitting
mute, mid her face; with its bright
color, showed pathetically thin.
" I should imagine thatc,Venice would
be good for you,' he said. - -
"It's still very liar h there I hear.
1
; when we leave Florence, I think
we will go to Switzerland."
"Oh, not to Madame Schebres' 1"
pleaded the child, turning upon her.
No, not to MadameSchebres'," con-
sented the mother.
She continued, addressing Colville:
"1 was thinking of Lausanne. .DO you
know Lausanne at all ?"
" Onli from Gibbon's report. It's
hardly up to date."
"1 thottght. of taking a house there
for the summer," said Mrs, Bowen,
playing with Effie's fingers. "It'
pleasant by the lake, I suppose."
"It's lovely by the lake !" cried the
child. "Oh, do go, mamma? I could
get a boat and learn to row. Here you
can't row, the Arno's so swift."
"The air would bring you up," said
Colville to Mrs. Bowen. " Switzer-
land's the only country Where you're
perfectly sure of waking new every
morning."
This idea interested the child. "Wak-
ing new !" she repeated.
" Yes ; perfectly made 2 over. You
wake up another. person. Shouldn't
you think that would be nice ?"
- "No."
" tell, I shouldn't, in your place. But
in m ne, I would much prefer to wake up
anot1ier person. Only it's pretty hard
on t e other person."

" You are really. very :rude. I
end you to bed."
"h no, don't, Mrs. Bowen," he
begge . "I'm responsible for these
viole ces. Effie used to be a very well
beim ed child before she began playing
'width ne. It's all my fault,"
They remained talking op the sofa to-
gether, while Imogene and Mr. Morton
continued to interest themselves in the
book. From time to time she looked.
over at them, and then turned again to
the young -clergyman, who, tvhen he
had closed the book, rested his hands
on its top and began to give an animat-
ed account of something, conjecturably
his sojourn in Rome. • i
In a lot/ voice, and with pauses ad-
justed to the occasional silences of the
young people Across the room, Mrs,
Bowen told Colville how Mr. Morton
was introduced to her by an old friend
who was greatly interested in him. She
said, frankly, that she had 'been able to
be of use to him, and ithair he was now
going back to America very -soon ; it
was as if she were privy to the con-
jecture that had come to the surface in
his talk with Mr. Waters, and -wished
him to understand exactly how matters
stood with the young clergyman and
herself. Colville, indeed, began to b&
more tolerant of ' him; he sueceeded in
praising the sermon he had heard him -
preach.
•
"Oh, he has lalent;"' said Mrs. "
Bowen. •
They fell into the old,: alrnost do-
mestic strain, from which .ehe broke at
times with an effort, but returning -as if
helplessly to it. .He had: the gift of
knowing how not to take an advantage
-with women; that 'sense Oyineoestraint
in them fought in his aver ; when
Effie. dropped her head Wearily against
his arm, her mother even laughed in -
sending her off to bed; shehad hither,.
tobeen serious. Imogene said she
.would go to see hertuekectio, and that
sent the clergyman to say good-nightto
Mrs. BoiVeneand to put emend to Col -
audience.. , .
In these &roe when.: Wyllie came
every- night to Palazzo .Pinti, he gott
back the tone he had lost in the past
fortnight, He :thought that it was the
complete immunity from his lite pleas -
mese and . the • regular. and sufficient
sleep,. which had set him firmly on his -
feet again, but he did not inquire very
closely. Imogene went two or three.
times„ after she had declared she w-oold
go no more, from the •necessity woMen
feel of bluntiteg the edge of :comment;
bat .Colville profited' inetently and fully
by the release from the parties which
she offered him. He didtot go everi. to
afternoon tea-drinkingse the .1' days"
of the different ladies:, which. be had
been so diligent to. observe, knew him no
more.. At the hears when society as;
sembled in this house or that and in --
gaited for him, or wonderedabout him,
he was commoaly taking a nap, and he
was punctually- in .bed every night at
eleven, afterhis return from Mrs.
Bowen's. •
He believed, of curse, that be _went
there because lie now no longer met
Imogene elsetahere, and he found the
house pleasanter than it had eter. been
since the vegliene, Mrs.- Bowen's re-
lenting was not continuous, however.
There were Utiles that seemed tobe
times df question • and of struggle with
her, when she vacillated. -between the
*old" cordiality and the later .alienation -f
when she went beyond the former, or
lapsed into moods coldr. and more
repellent than the lettei. It would
have been difficult to mark: the moment
when these straggles ceased altogether,
and an -evening passed in unbroken
kindness between them. But afterward
Colville could remember an emotion of
grateful surprise at a -subtle- word or
action of hers in which she appeared tar

It Must hve been by _compliance with

some wish or. as
his; what he k
only permitted
himself the most favored guest. The
charming smile, SG small and sweet, so
very near to bittetness, -came back to
her lips, the deeply fringed eyelids were
lifted to let the sunny eyes stream upon
him. She did, now, whatever he asked
her. She consulted his taste and judg-
ment on many points; she consented to
resume, when she should be a little
stronger, their visits to the ehurches
and galleries ; it would be h shame to go
away froin Florence without knowing
them thoroughly. It came to her ask-
ing him to drive with her and Imogene
in the Cascine; and when Imogene
made some excuse not to go, Mrs.
Bowen did not postpone the drive, but
took Colville and.• Effie. ,
Theyalrove quite down to the end of
the Cascine, and got out there _to ad-
mire the gay monument,' with the
painted bust, of tho poor young Indian
prince who died in - Florence.- They
strolled all about, talking of the old
times in the Cascine, twenty years be-
fore; and walking up the road beside
the canal while the carriage slowly fol -
owed, they Stopped to enjoy the peas-
ants lying asleep in the grass On the
other bank. Colville and Effie gathered
wild &went; and piled them in her mo-
ther's lap whenshe remounted to the
carriage and drove along, while they
made excursions into the little dingles
beside the Toad. Some people who
overtook thein in these sylvan pleasures
repotted the fact at a reeeption to which
they Were going, and Mrs. Amsden,
whose mind had been gradually clearing
under the simultaneous withdrawal of
Imogene and Colville from society, pro-
fessed herself again as thickly clouded
as a weather -glass before a storm. She
appealed to the sympathy of others
against this hardship.
Mrs. Bowen took Colville home to
'dinner ; Mr, Morton was coming, she
said, and he inust come too. At the
table, the tilting clergyman made her
his compliment on. her look of health;
and she said; Yes, she had been driving,
and she believed that she needed noth-
ing but to be in the air a little more, as
she very well could, now the spring,
weather wail really coming. She said
that they had, been talking all winter of
going to Fiesole, where Irhogene had
never been yet; and, upon comparison,
it appeared that none of them had yet
been to Fiesole except- herself. Then
they must all -go together, she said;
the carriage would hold four very com-
fortably. .
- "Ah ! that leaves me out," said Col-
ville, who had caught sight of 'Effie's
fallen countenance. tr.' .
"011 no. How is that? It leaves
Effie out." ,
"It's the Same thing. But I might
ride, and Effie might give me her hand
at hold over the side of the carriage;
that would sustain me."
We could take her between me Mrs.
Bowen," suggested Imogene. The
back seat is wide."
"Then the party is made up," sa:d
Celville, "and Effie hasn't demeaned '
herself by asking to go where she wasn't
invited.'
The child turned inquiringly toward
her mother, who met her with an in-
dulgent smile, which became a little
flush of of grateful appreciation when it
reached Colville; but Mrs. Bowen
ignored Imogene in the matter alto-.
gether.
The vening passed delightfully.
Mr. Morton had another book Which he
had brought to show Imogene, and .Mrs.
Bowen sat a long time at the piano,
