grcviously disappoitited. After the con
fusion of the first wen/ oyer,
and they sat quietly down to converse,
Ormand .saw, what he had felt in the
moment of their meeting, that there was
a change in Reginald’s manner. He was
quiet hnd grave; a smile of .courtly grace
had taken the place of his gleeful laugh,
and his eyes were not so brilliant as
usual;
But Arthur was in gay spirits, and, he
and Eugenia strove to outshine each
other. When they came down to dinner
Ormand noticed that ’Genie was even
more elegantly attired thpn usual, and
Emilys quick eye detected a false color
on her cheeks. But if ,’Geuie’s .cheek
had paled, until it needed a false bloom,
her eyes glittbred more brightly than
ever, aud a merry laugh was ever spring
ing from her lips.
They did il6t separate until late that
night, and when they went up to their
rooms, 7 Genic would not rest satisfied un
she had taken the little Arthur from his
bed, and tossed him in her arms.
