"You'll hear," returned Miss Jinny, settling herself with a jerk. So far the reader may wonder at the constituent elements of this story.

But the wind and rain were wild outside, so that they may have drowned the noise made by those who broke in." It was now close upon the hour, and Isabella was wondering how she could get rid of Dido, whom she did not wish to be present at the coming interview. The inborn jealousy of the woman, and her advocacy of Dr. Etwald's suit, made her an unpleasant third at such a meeting. Moreover, Maurice instinctively disliked this sullen creature, and was never quite easy in her presence. "Why? What can he have to say to my mother?" cried Isabella, in surprise..
