The marquis and marchioness received the duke in the outer hall, and conducted him to the saloon, where he partook of the refreshments prepared for him, and from thence retired to the chapel.

The marchioness, a prey to the turbulence of succeeding passions, exulted in the near completion of her favorite scheme.—A disappointment, however, was prepared for her, which would at once crush the triumph of her malice and her pride.

“Whatever I am, we haven’t got time to gas about it now. I came to—” “Thank you, Aunt Grenertsen.” “Where’s the Boss?” he demanded of the Chinaman who served Mr. Whitney. “Gone to bed?” How people did pry and talk about all that Kingthorpe heir business!
