"I've heard a lot of howling already this evening.","Nor I," said Isabella. "The major is a kind man, and he wants to see me happy. He is--",And the worthy old lady's eyes grew dim as she pronounced the words "our Lucy.","You will come first and see Philippa?" she says, in a slow peculiar tone that sounds as if it had been dug up and is quite an antique in its own way.

Every one says he or she will be delighted, and all try to look as if the entire hope of their existence is centred in the thought that they shall soon lay longing eyes on Philippa,—whose name in reality is Anne, but who has been rechristened by her enterprising sister. Anne is all very well for everyday life, or for Bluebeard's sister-in-law; but Philippa is art of the very highest description. So Philippa she is, poor soul, whether she likes it or not.,"Humph!
