"But you don't mean to say that she believes in it!" Surely no woman ever in all the world read such a letter as that, and no wonder my breath almost failed me. It was a love-letter in which the cold paper was turned into a heart that beat against mine, and I bowed my head over it as I wetted it with tears.

This speech has the effect of electricity. They all start; with one consent they give the desired oath. The cards fall to the ground, the fortune forgotten; the mare becomes of very secondary importance; another stitch drops in the fated sock.

"Your preserves. Confound your insolence!" "Why did she not come in?" asked Jen, coldly, for he did not feel very amiably disposed toward the widow. Elinor, who had lifted her eyes perfunctorily, gave real attention. But Judith was not attending. Her eyes were fixed on the far side of the great station..
