The whole firmament is of a soft azure, flecked here and there with snowy clouds tipped with palest gray. A little cloud—the tenderest veil of mist—hangs between earth and sky. "But you were not afraid to dance with Lauderdale, my son?" says the duchess, looking at her. "I don't think I understand you," she says, at length, gravely.
