"Thee lookeat grand enough to be

resolved to evince nothing of her

But Vashti's spirits were not to

CHAPTER XXXI.
The sweet golden days of summer
passed on. They were happy ones
for Vashti.
More than six weeks had elapsed
since her arrival at Cedarbourne,
and, though her father was grave
and silent and reserved, yet some-
times she thought that she detected
a softening in his tone when he ad-
dressed her, that somewhat of ten-
derness came into his eyes when
they rested upon her. Miriam, too,
treated her with uniform kindness;
she was exacting and dictatorial,
but she was not unkind.
But it was at the Copse, in the
society of Cuthbert and . his wife,
that Vashti's happy moments were
passed. She admired and reveren-
ced Cuthbert, she loved Mary as
sba had never loved any one before
-loved her with a love which had
in it somewhat of a protecting ten-
derness. She had grown into great
favour with Ralph Barton; even by
Mrs Somerset she was designated as
"that beautiful well-bred girl, who
has not a particle of selfishness in
her composition."
Ben, too, was an ardent admirer
of Miss .Rainsforth; her gracious
words and pleasant smile complete-
ly won his heart
"There's hot two nicer ladies in
England," was wont to be the sum
and substance of his cogitations.
"When I see them walking together
around the garden so slow' and
gentle -like, the young mistress lean-
ing upon Miss Vashti's arm, I
can't he]p thinking, for the life of
me, of a grand Gloire de Dijon and
a pale, drooping, fading snowdrop
-fading and drooping, fading and
drooping. Ali, poor Iamb, just like
her mother ! . And Mr. Cuthbert
and the old master never to see it,
saying that she's better this summer
that} site was last; and all the time
she's going like snow before the
sunbeam ! Heaven help them
when the blow conies -Heaven help
thorn ?"
And to "Gladness -little Glad-
ness," Vashti's presence grew very
presious. The days appeared long
in which she did not see her.
Everything which Vashti did quiet-
ed end soothed her ; she clung to
her, although ten years her senior
as a child clingk to its mother. On
such days as sh felt more than
usually weak no one could atrange
her pillows as did Vashti, no other
voice could read or talk so softly, so
pleasantly ; it was touching to wit-
ness the love existing between these
two who remembered naught of a
mother's watchful care, touching to
witness how entirely the one -a
woman ,�,in years -depended and
leant upon the tender strength of
the other who was so young.
So much of Vashti's time was
spent at • the Copse that she had
little opportunit_ of carrying out
her half -formed plan of visiting
amongst her father's operatives.
This was a source of gratification to
Philip Rainsforth rather than other-
wise.
"That kind of thing is all very
well for the Misses Hallen and that
strange, nervous Sister Anna, but
Vashti is different," he said once,
when talking the matter over with
his sister. "Vashti is young, her
health is good ; I do not care that
she should risk it by visiting the
houses where fever and small -pox
rage. And, besides, as Cuthbert
Somerset's mother . sometimes re-
marks, the lower classes of King's
Minster, the mill hands, are rude,
ungracious, and ungrateful."
