You stay here, St. Elmo, an’ I’ll be back in a minute.”,CHAPTER XXI.,One day one of the women said to the other, "It is very lonely here; we have no one to talk with or to visit.","Do you know," he says, slowly, staring at her the while, "you are the most beautiful woman I ever saw?"，In the meantime I feel that it will be good for his judgeship for me to let him "draw" me at least a little way. I may get hurt, but I shall at least have only myself to thank for it. When we reached home, the judge stopped under the old lilac bush that leans over my side-gate and kissed my hand. Old Lilac shook a laugh of perfume all over us, and I believe signalled the event with the top of his bough to the white clump on the other side of the garden. I'm glad Aunt Adeline isn't in the flower fraternity. Suppose she had seen or heard!，I wish you would not take it so absurdly to heart.

I'd see him—very well—that is—ahem! I certainly would not, you know," says Mr. Rodney.

"I'll slip in behind the door screen," she thought, "and see what's going on. Elinor may need me.","Billy," she half-whispered, then hiding her flushed face in her hands she turned and ran from him.,"Now," continued Mr Lawrence, still preserving his lofty, superior, rather over-bearing manner, as though he would heave Mr John Eagle overboard by scruff and breech if the fellow durst utter a syllable of offence, "it is arranged by Miss Acton and myself that she should feign that I have kidnapped her—sailed away with her, in short, against her will. This attitude we preconcerted, to rescue her from the accusation of having eloped, which might greatly prejudice her in the eyes of her father, and injure her future and fortune. When, therefore, you meet her, which you doubtless will, she will probably with the utmost passion, nay, even with tears in her eyes, declare that she has been torn from her home by a base artifice. And you'll understand, Mr Eagle, that her sighs, her statements, and her tears are merely tricks and parts of a play which has been carefully prearranged between the lady and myself. Do you understand, sir?" he added, looking stormily at his mean little companion from the altitude of his elegant and commanding figure.,“Here I stand upon this stage,"I know--I know! But I don't want her to marry you, doctor. Mr. Sarby is the man for my daughter. He is good-looking and clever and--","I think it is my fault," said Isabella, hastily.
