My, oh, my! how pale he was! almost as pale as Jeremias the wood-cutter.,"Good heavens!" cried Jen, recoiling. "What do you mean?","But why not to-night?" asks her Grace, who has noticed with curiosity the girl's refusal to dance with a lanky young man in a hussar uniform, who had evidently made it the business of the evening to get introduced to her.
