Patricia shivered with excited anticipation as they closed the heavy outer door of the Academy after them. Having dismissed Battersea, the negress turned to seek Isabella. She was so devoted to her nursling that she could hardly bear to be away from her, and since her infancy Isabella had scarcely been absent an hour from her strange attendant. The girl had gone into the drawing-room, where Mrs. Dallas was still sleeping; and there, relieved for the moment from the prying eyes of the negress, she took a letter out of her pocket.

In a moment the place was dark with its roar and the rumble of coming fury undertoned the shrill screams of the greedy tempest wind. They parted, at the end of the sumptuous supper in the transformed ante-chamber, with a thousand plans for the coming season and a strong sense of enrichment in the friendship of these sincere and attractive neighbors. And having made this explanation, Dido folded her arms, and waited in scornful silence to hear what her accuser had to say.
