The evening passed far too quickly
for Sir Hugh. He came out well by
the side of Constance, and was quite
pleasant; his tinge of fatuity seemed
quite taken out of him; Mrs. Ev-
erett and Mrs. Edgar Everett were
both inwardly irate at Sir Hugh,
whose state of mind was patent;
but it would not do to treat him,
coldly, and give other .names an ad-
vantage: "The girls! the girls!"

willingness to set off to hint imme-

to wait a little while before she de-
cided. She changed her mind, though,
that evening, and wrote to say that
she was coining, and resolved to
please Mrs. Everett the next day by
the announcement of her resolution.
Now all that was settled; and set-
tled the more quickly because she
was angry. A letter from Mfr. Ers-
kine lay in the depths of her writ-

talo whole days—a longer time than
she mostly allowed anything to do,
