"Nonsense, Sue, He's all right," re- turned Mr Ingleby, coloring, "'but you see -when a man is young and rich and well-born, and in a crack cavalry regiment, though he inay be ever such a good fellow -well a hussar is a hus- sar and not a practised exponent of ethics -look here, why don't you have Jessie Meade here oftener; and make a companion of her? Ask her to tea." "She's asked for to -night," replied Miss Ingleby, gazing with a quiet iron- ical expression upon her brother's face. "As it is your cricket night, I thought it a good opportunity. I know how strongly you disapprove of bachelor society for her. Why, there she is," she exclaimed, catching sight of a light summer dress fluttering among the shrubs by the gate, and rising to meet Jessie with a cordial smile. Mr Ingleby put on his coat and f;11 - lowed his sister, thinking, not without satisfaction, that the cricket was post- poned, and that all bachelor society was not baneful to Jessie. Jessie always felt at home in that house; she liked the Inglebys, none the less because Mr Ingleby had been accustoined to drop in at Stillbrooke Mill for a chat and sometimes a pipe, which it had been her proud office as a ehild to fill. She came smiling up the drive with a sort of wild rose grate, with her hair gleaming fitfully as the sunshine and leaf shadows changed upon it. She was, as usual, very simp- ly dressed. witnout ornament, yet the lines of her figure were so subtly graceful and her bearing had so mo- dest a dignity, that her plain, fresh, well fitting dress had an eleg int dis- tinction far beyond that of fashion and richness of a fabric. CHAPTER IV. Marwell .Rectory was a comfortable little country house which assumed a pleasant coVettish pretence of being a cottage. It wore a rustic crown of neat clean thatch, the pr.ojecting eaves of which. threw the ram well off the stifle Walls and sheltered them frota the frost; the latticed bay windows and the picturesque porch were rood with this same neat thatch; the twink- ling windows, gabled roofs, and twisting claunneys were so clasped, smothered and twined about with creeping green- ery and richness of blossom that they seemed to emerge from all the bloom only. by &strong and continuous effort. Just now in the heart of summer, a Gloire do Dijon, a red -hearted cabbage rose, and a pink -flushed hunch rose threw their blooming sprays all over and among its myrtles and honeysuck- les, so that people on the gravel drive in front literally walked upon rose - leaves as the petals floated down on the summet air faster than they could be swept up by the strictest of gard- eners. And the head -gardener, the Adam of this paradise, was not strict; he even liked what more professional garden- ers term a litter; especially when sweet ad this. He, that is, Mr Ingleby, was standing on this sunny afternoon be- neath a broadarmed linden -tree, which we,s sweet with bee -haunted blossom, wt.& his black stfaw hat tilted over his face -a handsome face with kind blue eyes and clean shaven mouth of benig- nant curve, framed by blue -black hair of graceful wave and blue black whiskers of fashionable cut -with a heath broom in his hand and a heap of short mown grass at his feet. But instead of sweeping, he was, looking dreamily over the cottage in the fore- ground at the sweep of park land spreading away to the blue hills, and the village to the left backed by pas- tures, farmstead, and corn land, and ending in a distant promise of shining sea. A lady in a broad garden hat, about his own age, which was some thirty odd summers -and these odd summers are often very oddly reckoned by her sex -a plain likeness of himself, was tying up some carnations, not withoui, a critical glance at the idle rector, who she observed, though he had taken off his, coat,loolted, in. his white tie and while shirt sleeves with stainless cuffs, as spiek and span as if prepared to walk down Piccadilly on a fine May after- noon. "Do you hold that broom for effect or with some distant hope of making use of it, William?" she asked in her sharp, staccato way. "Fcr a little of both," Susie," he re- plied, with his sweet smile. "I fancy the brborn conveys some faint idea that I might be useful, which enhances my, other charms, and I am not entire- ly without sOme hope ofgetting the lawn swept in the course ot time. "What you want is a ood strict_ --wif gn-T--ie like rs, um- millth.1 grumbled Miss Ingleby. "What 1. lack but don't need, my dear," he returned. "Besides, while I enjoy the privilege of your conversa- tion, can I hopefor anything sharper?" "Or more acid?" she added, laughing. "Just fancy, the Medways call us honey and vinegar." "Good for sore throats. Raspberry vinegar would be better, Sue. There's a littlii tartness in both of us. Miss LonsdAle is our spongor, if I am not mistaken, Poor girl." "Poor indeed! Why she is as rich as Miclati." "And as miserable. And the reeds tell little whispering tales of her. Mi - dM teas nothing to do and gets into miticlaief. Midas is a coquette, and the Nemesis of coquettes has overtaken her." "What in the world is that?" inter- rupted Miss Ingleby, with a look of stony amazement. "Surely the man is cracked," she added aside to the car- nations. "To fall in can't have." "You, I suppose. But pity is akin to love. When did she tell you? Is it a confessional secret?" "I think I see the fair Clara in a country vicarage." "Well so you might have done last Easter, if you'd been at home when she called." "Wasting her sweetness upon a de- sert parson -" "Say a deserted parson." "In my mind's eye, Susanna," lie continued, with imperturbable sweet- ness; "but I wish to goodness she had let that nice little Jessie Meade alone," "Stuff! She can't flirt with Jessie. Nothing can be better for the girl than to have the entree of a house like Mar - well Court. Clara Lousdale will form her manner and give her the chic the little rustic could never have develop- ed at her hoarding school." 'Heaven forbid!" said Mr Ingleby, with fervor. "But Jessie is too true a lady to be spoilt by Miss Lonsdale." "Now saints pity me," murmured Miss Ingleby aside, "for this man is evidently, on the road to Bedlam. The Meades' daughter and the Pluinmers' cousin, born in a mill, brought up at a rnissish boarding school, and finished at Redwoods Farm!"
