CHAPTER IT.
IN THE ROW.
All yesterday the rain fell heavily.
Not in quiet aftowers, but with a steady
downpour that drenched the world,
rendering the I'ark a lonely wilderness,
and the Hide deserted.
To-day the sun. as though weary of
yesterday '8 inaction, is out again, froing
its busy round, and casting his warm
beams on rich and poor, simple and
-wise, alike. -
The How is crowded filled to over
flowing with the gaj Iv-dressed throng
that has come out to bask in the glad
warmth of the sunshine, ami revel in
the sense of well-being engendered by
the softness and sweetness of the rush
ing breeze.
"Tli heaven shows lively art and hue.
Of sundry shajH-s and colors new.
And laughs upon the earth:"
A faint languor, born of the increas
ing heat, pervades the air.
IJut for the gentle wind that dances
gayly hither and thither, wooing with
its tender touch each thing it passes,
the heat would be almost insupportable.
The occupants of the chairs seem
drowsily inclined, and answer in soft
monosyllables those with energy suffi
cient left to question them.
One old lady, unmindful of the car
riages that iass and repass incessantly,
has falkn into a Bonna and refreshing
slumber, made musical by snores low
but deep. .
The very loungers on the railings
have grown silent, as though speech is
irksome, and conversation not to be
borne, and content themselves with
;;iziiig upon the beauty that is carried
by them as the tide of fashion ebbs and
liowa. .
A dark green Victoria, exquisitely ap
pointed, and drawn by two bright bay
ponies, claims, and not at all unjustly,
the very largest share of attention.
Not so much the Victoria. perhaps, as
Mrs. Neville, to whom it lielongs, and
who is now seated in it, with her adopt
ed daughter beside her.
Miss Neville, as usual, is faultlessly
attired in some pule fabric, untouched
by color of any sort, and is looking
more than ordinarily lovely.
Her large dark eyes, blue as the deep
czar violet, ami tinged with melancholy,
are in perfet harmony with the creani
colorea hat she wears.
A little suspicion of crimson adorns
eacli cheek. Iler lips are parted.
She seems indeed a very phantom of
delight.
"A lovely Hpparition reiit "
not so much tobe a moment's ornament
as a lasting jov.
"There is l)ick I'enruddock." said
Mrs. Neville, suddenly. "I want to
speak to him."
leaning forward, she says something
to her coachman, and presently the
carriage is drawn up beside the railings,
and, with a smile and a nod, Mrs. Ne
ville beckons the young man to her
side.
It ia quite tt month since that night
at the opera, where l'enruddock lirst
aaw M ami -Neville a - month full of
' growing hopes and disheartening fears.
At first, Mrs. Neville had been averse
r io me acquaintance auogeiner. Hearing
a strange grudge to the very name of
l'enruddock, as she held it responsible
for all the ills that had befallen her be
loved sister.
She had scolded Wilding in her harm
less fashion as severely as she could
scold any one for having brought one
of "those people." as she termed them,
within her doors, more especially the
boy who had succeeded to the property
that should bv right have belonged to
"the little Hilda, her dead sister s only
child.
Hut time and Dick Fenruddock's
charm of manner had conquered pre
ludice and vague suspicion; ami Mrs.
Neville, after many days, acknowledged
even to herself that she liked the young
man nay, almost loved him, in spite of
hi name and parentage.
Just now he comes gladly up to the
side of the Victoria and takes her hand,
i and beams upon her, and then glances
past her to atrcept with gratitude the
slow Ixvwand very faint smile of recog
nition that Miss Neville is so conde
scending as to bestow upon him.
- - "Such a chance to seejou in thiscon
fnairm'n Mvs Mrs. Neville, kindly.
"And can you come and dine to-nighl?
It is short notice, of course, for such a
fashionable boy as you are: but I really
want you, and you mum come.
"If you really want me, I shall of
course come your wishes are com
mands not to l disputed," says l'en
ruddock, after a second's hesitation,
wherein he has decided on telling a
fTeat lib to the other people with whom
ie is in dutv bound to pass his evening.
"But your dance "
"Is later on ves. Hut I have two or
three old friend's coming to dine, and
they are very charming, of course, and
I quite love them, you will understand;
but old friends, as a rule, are just the
least little bit tedious sometimes, don't
you think? And I want you to help me
with them. I may depend upon you?"
"You niHV. indeed."
"Ah. so Maud said," said Mrs. Neville,
with a faint sigh of relief.
To know that this pleasant boy will
be on the spot to make conversation
and carry it on when her own powers
fail is an inexpressible comfort to her.
"Did Miss Neville say that? I did
not dare to lelieve that she had so good
an opinion of me. To be considered
worthy of trust is a very great compli
ment indeed." savs Dick, glancing past
Mrs. Neville again, to gaze somewhat
wistfully at the owner of the cream
colored hat.
- Hut she, leyond the hrst slight recog-
i nition and uomewnai iiaugiu n-iin-
1 t ion of her small head, has taken not
i the slightest notice of him.
! She has even turned her head away,
' and is apparently ht in contemplation
of the brilliant ami constantly increas
ing crowd around ner.
"Have vou seen the princess. Miss
Neville?" "asks l'eiirtiddock at length,
in despair, tilled' with, a sudden deter
mination to make her sneak, and to
coiium I her large, thoughtful eves to
Bieethisown.it only for a single in
stant. -Hather nice, her ponies, don't
you think?" .
"Not so highly bred ns Mrs. Cabbe's,
nor so perfect in nnv way," returns Miss
Neville, uiisvnipatbetically. letting her
e ves rest on "him for a very brief mo
ment, and making him a present of a
gr ive pleasant, but cold little smile.
fter which she turns her head away
again, as though desirous of dropping
out of the conversation.
Penrudihs k is piqued, almost angry.
Vlready he has learned the value of
position, money, the world's adulation;
yet this girl alone treats him w.th open
coldness ami something that Uirdcrs on
-positive avoidance, thorgh she herself
is utterly without position, and only
ImleMcil to the noptilaritv Mrs. Neville
eiijovs with both sexes for her admit
tance into society.
- Two or three men coming np to the
Victoria at this moment stay to speak
toits occupants, and to all Miss Ne
ville gives the same cold greeting, the
same frigid, but undeniably entrai.-ing,
smile. . -
I'erlrHps her somewhat insolent in
difference is her chief charm: or it may
le that it lies in the half-mournful dig
nitv expressive of an everlasting if si
lent regret that marks her every glance
and movement.
I
I
A tall, dark man. pushing his way
through the others, makes his bow to
Mrs. Neville, and then raises his hat
deferentially to the beauty of the hour.
Maud acknowledges his presence with
a salutation that is certainly somewhat
colder than those accorded to the oth
ers to-day.
"How full the Row is this afternoon,
says Mrs. Neville, genially, who has
made the same remark to all the others
straight through.
"Is it?" says Captain Saumarez, the
new-comer. "Keally. I dare say; but
once I had caught sight of your unap
proachable ponies I could see nothing
else. It seems too much luck to meet
you this afternoon with the certainty
of meeting vou again this evening.
Thanks so much for the card! May I
venture to hope for one dance to-night.
Miss Neville? or do I, as usual, ask
too late?"
"Quite too late. Every dance is prom
ised." She barelv looks at htm as she speaks.
"What all, allf I am indeed un
fortunate there is no denying that! Is
there nobody you could Uirow over to
give me even one poor dance?"
"I never throw over my partners,"
savs Miss Neville, distinctly; "my con
science is opposed to that, and will not
allow me to break my word once
given."
"Yet I think short as is our acquaint
ance I remember one partner igno-
miniously consigned to the background
for no particular reason," replies he,
meaningly.
"Do you?" innocently. "My memory
is not my strong point, so I shall not
discuss the subject. But" with a flash
from the violet eyes "I think I may
take upon myself to say that you are
wrong when you say there was no 'par
ticular reason' for my so acting."
"Unless caprice I a reason, retorts
he. saving it in quite a low tone.
"I do not understand you," says Miss
Neville, with some haughtiness of look
and manner- "nor do I desire to do so."
""Tis folly to remember,'" quotes
he from a song she herself is in the
habit of singing, ami with a short, un
mirthful laugh. "You are right. To
encourage forgetfulness should be one
of our greatest aims. But to return to
our first discussion. I am indeed the
unhappiest of men. Is there no hote
that you will change your mind, and let
me live in the exiectation of being fa
vored with one waltz?"
"I can offer you no such hope," re
turns she, with so much pointed de
cision in her voice and expression that
Saumarez, turning sharply on his heel,
takes off his hat with a frowning bow
ami a somewhat vindictive glance, and
next the minute has disappeared among
the crowd.
There is a slight but perceptible pause
after he has gone. The other men have
melted away before this, and only l'en
ruddock remains.
"I hardly think I shall stay on for
your dance," he says, presently, with
some hesitation, looking disappointed,
and speaking in a very dejected tone.
That little bit of information just
given by Miss Neville to the effect that
all her dances were disposed of has
checked his ardor for the Audley Street
"small and early." ami has. in tact, re
duced him to a state that lnrders on de
spair.
About a week ago,
Miss Neville had
almost promised him a waltz as to this
particular dance, but doubtless she has
by this time forgotten all aliout such a
promise, and has given the waltz in
question to some more favored individ
ual. "My dear child, why not?" asks Mrs.
Neville, kindlv, struck by the sudden
melancholy of his appearance. "I do
hope, my dear Dick, you are not given
to moping. So many young men mope
nowadays. I lelieve they call it by a
finer name, but it really comes to the
same thing. Now, why won't you stay
on for my dance to-night?"
"It sounds rude, and it is rude," con
fesses Mr. l'enruddock, with some con
trition; "but the fact is. I know I
shouldn't enjoy it 1 couldn't stand
it," says Dick, with a reproachful glance
at Beauty, who sits apparently careless
and unmoved, looking lefore ner.
Hut at this moment Miss Neville" sees
fit to join in the conversation. - '
She turns her head slowly, and letting
her handsome eyes meet l'enruddock 's,
chains him to the spot by the very pow
er of her beauty.
"Then I suppose I am at liberty to
give away that third waltz that I prom
ised you at I,ady Uyecroft's?" she asks,
slowly, without removing her gaze.
"Yon rememler it? I thought per
haps you had forgotten," savs l'enrud
dock, eagerly. "No, do not give it away.
Dear Mrs. N'eville, do not think mc un
stable, or fickle, or anything that wav,
but the fact is. nothing on earth should
keen me from your dance to-night."
lie flushes a ilark red. laughs a litUe,
raises his hat. and, as though unable
longer to endure the rather mischievous
smile in Miss Neville's blue eyes, beats
a hasty retreat.
"He is a dear lxy, quite charming,"
says Mrs. Neville, who is feeling puz
zled, "but certainly a little vague. So
very unlike his father, who was the
most unpleasantly matter-of-fact per
son I ever met. What were you saying
to Captain Saumare., Mandie? 1 "saw
that you were talking to him. but you
ditl not seem very genial, either of
you."
"He is very distasteful tome," says
Maud, quickly. -"I don't know what 'it
is auntie, but' I feel a horror a hatred
of that man. His manner toward me
is insolent to a degree. It is as though
he would compel me. against my will,
to be civil to him. and I never shall!"
concludes Miss Neville, between her
little white, even teeth.
"I don't think I care much about him
myself," says Mrs. Neville. "He al
ways seems "to me to be something of
an "ad venturer; and. besides, he is a
friend of all the Penruddocks, and, ex
cept Dick. I never liked any of them.
Nt that he is much of a friend there
either, as he never speaks of them, and
even if drawn into conversation about
1 icks father, as a rule says something
disparaging. But he has money, and is
received every where, and 1 really think,
my dear child, he is very devoted to
yon."
"Oh. do not. pray, try to make him
even more detestable in my sight than
he is already." says Maud, with a sfiiver
that may mean disgust.
"Oh, no! Of course I meant nothing.
And he is the last man that I should
care to see you married to. Hut some
time you must make a selection yon
can but know that ami. I am always
thinking for you, indeed lam. Dick
l'enruddock is very much in love with
vou. I really 1km ieve, though you always
deny it."
"f deny it lecause I think he is not.
I hoe with all my heart and soul that
he is not." says Maud, with sudden and
unlooked-ior energy.
All the color basiled from her cheeks,
and her lijrs tremble slightly.
"Well, my dear, perhaps so. 1 own I
am stupid," says Mrs, Neville, who,
though the lest and kindest of women,
is certainly in no danger of setting the
Thames on fire with her cleverness.
"Though I can't see why von should
dislike the idea so much, lie is quite
charming in my opinion, and m hand
some! Then there is Lord Stretton;
you can t tell me that he des not adore
the very ground you walk on!"
"t Mi. Strettonl ' says Miss Neville, dis
dami nliy.
"But. my dearest, you )v.f marry
some one. says her "auntie." in an ag
grieved tone. "Dick, as I say, is all
nial one count txjssioiy aesire; out
Stretton has a title, and that always
counts. As that dear man in 'Punch,'
said some time ago, "lieauty and good
ness may fade and pall, but atitle M.ta.'
There is certainly a very great deal of
sense in that remark, and it l nice to
have a duke for a brother-in-law."
"I don't think Wolfhampton would
be nice as a brother-in-law were he fifty
times a duke," says Maud, with a curl
of her short upper lip,
"He might be improved on. certainly;
I don't dispute that," Mrs. Neville ad
mits, sadl v. "His manners are positive
ly distressing, so redolent of the stable:
and his nose is out of all proportion."
"It is so like Lord Stretton "s that no
one could possibly know one from the
other," savs Maud. wiPfnlly.
Mrs. Neville sighs. The case is be
yond argument. It is indeed only too
true that Lord Stretton's proboscis
bears a painful resemblance to his
brother's.
"Dick l'enruddock is, of course, in
manv ways far preferable," she says,
presently, shifting ground. "Heisqtute
as rich, and is younger, and has prettier
manners. Hut, then, you say you ob
ject to Dick also."
"No, I don't object to Mr. l'enrud
dock," says the girl, with a soft, slow
blush; "that is not it. Y'ou mistake me,
Mimi." (This is the pet name she gave
to Mrs. Neville when a child.) "I only
mean that I shall never marry."
"But why tthijf" impatiently.
"Can yiu ask me that?" returns she,
with a glance full of the liveliest re
proach. "But the thing is not a secret all the
world knows how I adopted you, and
that you are the daughter of some poor
mechanic, dead before I ever saw you.
Hut they know, too. that you are the
most beautiful and the most charming
girl in the townl Y'es, you are!" in an
swer to a deprecating shake of Miss
Neville's head; "and if these men love
you. and choose to overlook such a lit
tle fault, why. then, 1 can not see "
"A little fault!" repeats she sadly.
Then, with a touch of pride, "Nay. it is
no fault at all, but it is a great misfor
tune; and though Stretton or or Mr.
l'enruddock may, perhaps, foolishly
wish to marry me, do you honestly be
lieve their families would receive me
with open arms? Do you think it at
all likely that Dick's father would be
glad to see him married to a girl with
out a name? It is impossible, Mimi!"
"I know not what they might think
or say. but I know that if he were my
son I' would gladly see him married to
you." says Minii, maintaining her cause
stoutly.
"That is Ix-cause yon love me, and be
cause you are different from all the rest
of the world." says the girl, gently, look
ing at her through a soft mist, that
dims the beauty of her eyes, and is born
of tenderness, and gratitude, and deep
affection.
At this moment the carriage draws
up at their halldoor, and, alighting,
they pass into the house.
CHAPTER v.
AFTER THE DAXCE.
It is many hours later, and the dance
is at its lest and gayest. The sound of
music nnd the delicate pert ume of dy
ing flowers are in the air.
The rooms are filled with all that
Ijondon can afford of its brightest, and
highest, and best; and pretty women in
toilets almost as desirable as themselves
are smiling and waving their fans, and
doing all the damage that soft eyes and
softer speech are supposed to do.
It is the third waltz, and the band is
Slaying "Mou Heve." In Dick Penrud
ocVs opinion it is the waltz of the
evening, as his arm is round Maud Ne
ville, and her perfect head is very near
his own.
He is as happy as a man can be who
holds all he deems most precious for
one moment to his heart, knowing that
the next might separate them forever.
Presently they pause to rest, and find
themselves near tne door of a conserva
tory.
"Are you tired?" asks he. seeing she
sighs, and raises one hand in a half
wearied fashion to smooth back some
loose hairs that have wandered across
her forehead. "Come in here, ami sit
down for a little while."
He tightens his arm on the hand rest
ing utsm it, and moves toward the cool
retreat Itefore them.
"If you wish it," replies she, uncer
tainly, and with some slight hesitation
in her manner.
Yet she goes with him into the dimly
lighted conservatory, where a little
fountain is plashing, sending forth a
cold, sweet music of ltsown.aml where
green leaves are glistening calmly be
neath tlx: beams of the tuUlued lamps.
The time the hour the very drip,
drip of the founlarn all lespeak loneli
ness: ami to feel one's self alone with
a beloved object, as a rule, kills wis
dom. l'enruddock. who all day long has
leen enduring suspense, and an uncer
tainty that lxnlers on hone, suddenly
loses" his head. Laying liis hand oh
Maud's, he bends down to her. and
whispers something in a soft, impas
sioned voii'e.
The girl apjwars neither startled nor
surprised, and when she speaks, her
tone, though perhaps a shade slower
than usual, is firmer than ever.
Only she changes color, and grows
pale until her verv lips are bloodless.
"You speak without thought or re
flection," she says, gently. "Y'ou have
considered nothing. No, no; do not in
terrupt me! I am sorry this has ticcur
red; out there is no reason why we
should not forget what you have just
said, ami be good friends as we were
before."
"There i a reason, and a strong one,"
returns he, very quietly now; "and as
to our being mere friends, that is quite
out of the uupstion. Do you imagine
me an impulsive boy to say a thing one
moment and regret it the next? I have
dared to say to-night what I have want
ed to say for many davs. And I must
have my answer now.''
"And my birth have you forgotten
that?" lemanded she, looking at him
fixedly.
"I have forgotten nothing. But to
me it makes no difference. Princess or
peasant, how can it matter? I love
you. Darling," said the . young man,
very earnestly, taking both her hands,
and" holding them closely, "I implore
you to lxdieve in my love! Take time
for reflection consider well. 1 entreat
you to give mc no hurried answer."
"I do not hurry," returns she. in a
strange tone; "I will not even argue
with you. let us say no mor alio.it
it: anil please let my hands go. Mr. l'en
ruddock. I can not marry you indeed,
I can not."
"But why? at least, tell me that."
demands he, desperately, refusing to
release her hands. "Maiid. answer me!
Do you is it true that you love anoth
er letter. ami tliat is why you can not
care for ine?"
"No; that is untrue." replies she with
quick pain in voice ami eyes. "I love
no one letter than vou; which means,
of course " hurriedly, and with a sad
little otiivering laugh "that I love vo
nnr You will understand me?"
"Only too well." returns he sadly.
1T lifts her hands, and kisses them
n.artelv. in a forlorn, lingering fash
ion. "Ami vet there is Rome talk of
Stretton." he says, miserably, his face
haggard and umiappv.
"That report is false," she sa s, slow
ly. Then, after a faint hesitation, she
raises her head and regards him with
earnest attention.
Her eyes are full of unshed tears, and
her voice, soft and low, as it always ia,
trembles a little as she speaks.
"Believe nothing you hear," she says,
impassively; "only this that I shall
never marry."
Rising, and turning abruptly from
him, she moves toward the ball-room,
and. standing in the door-wav, gazes,
without seeing anything, at the sway
ing crowd before her.
Presently she becomes conscious that
two dark eyes are fixed upon her; she
turns restlessly, and Captain Saumarez
stands at her side.
"Not dancing. Miss Neville?" begins
he. lightly. "And all alone, too!" Then,
with a ch'ange of manner, and throw
ing some concern into his tone, he says,
quietly. "You look overtired. May I
take you out or tins to oneoT tne small
er rooms beyond, or in here?" pointing
to the conservatory she had just quit
ted. "Oh. no; not in there!" exclaims she,
with some distress. "But I shall be
glad to get away for a little while."
Taking his arm. she makes her wav
slowly through the dancers and the lin
gerers at the door-way, and presently
sinks, with a sigh of relief, into a low
chair, in a small room that opens off an
aute-chamler.
The music seems so very far away
that the noise and confusion could al
most be forgotten. Oh, that she could
now get rid of her companion, and find
herself, if only for one short half hour,
alone!
"Something has annoyed you. Can I
heVp you in any way?" says' Saumarez,
in his gentlest manner.
You are very good. No; it is noth
ing. I am only slightly fatigued," re
turns she, listlessly.
"May I get you something? A glass
of wine some iced water?"
"Thank you nothing."
Her evident determination not to be
friendly, her extreme coldness of voice
and gesture, pique him beyond endur
ance. What has he done to her that
this proud girl should treat him with
such open disdain?
"I saw you go into that conservatory
about ten minutes ago," he says, after a
slight pause, some reckless desire to
rouse her from her apathy, and bring
anger, if he can not summon love, into
those beautiful eyes below him, incit
ing him to this speech. "Y'ou seemed
greatly disturbed when vou came out
again. Was that boy rude to you?"
He has certainly gained his point.
Miss Neville's blue" eyes literally flash
with anger.
"That boy?" repeats she, in an im
passible tone.
"I am speaking of Penruddock," re
turns he. with cool persistence. "Was
he rude?"
"I hardly know how to answer such a
question," says Miss Neville, frigidly.
1 never knew until now to-night
that any man could be rude to me!"
"Ah! then I am to understand he did
offend?" says Saumarez, insolently, his
evil genius at his elltow.
"I was not alluding to Mr. l'enrud
dock he is incapable of any act of ill
hreeding; 1 was alluding to you!" says
Maud, in a clear tone, rising as she de
livers this retort.
She would have swept by him and
left the room, but with a sudden ex
clamation he seizes her hand, and de
tains her against her will.
"Stop!" cries he, with some passion.
"I have something to say to you, that I
have too long withheld, and that you
shall hear now or never."
"Then it shall be never!" says the girl,
quickly. "I decline to listen to any
thing you may have to say. Release
me. sir; your very touch is' hateful to
"Ay, since l'enruddock came upon
the field. Do you think I am so blind
that I can not see how he has gained

"Take care, sir; do not go too farl"
says Maud, her voice vibrating with in

"I don't care how far I go now," de
clares he. all the evil blood in his heart
surging upward to the surface. "I love
you. too! Y'es; you chnll listen to me,
though it be for'the last time!" tighten
ing his fingers on her wrist. "I love
you. as that lioy can never love you
with all the strength of a man's deepest
devotion!"
"Hush! vour mention of love is J5ut
an insult!"' says she, in a withering tone.
"My voice is not so silken as his, no
doubt." replies he. driven to madness
by her loathing. "Nor do soft words
trip so readily from my -tongue. But
will his love stand the test of time?
Will he never regret that he has mar
ried one w ho is "
He pauses.
"Lowly bom."
She supplies the words; speaking
them bravely, and not flinching from
the stroke.
"Ay, and basely!" says he, between his
teeth.
It is a lie, and he knows it. Hut at
this moment he would have uttered
any false thing to lower the pride of
the woman whom strange paradox
he loves, yet hatfs!
A terrible change passes over Miss
Neville's countenance as the words
cross his lips.
"No. no; it i
is not true!" she cries, all
her couiv.e forsaking her. "I will not
believe it! What can V'u know more
than all the others? An! is it for this
reason I have dreaded vou? Have pity,
and unsay your wordsf"
"I do not sjieak without authority,"
replies he. quickly, stun ajiain by her
admission that she dreads him. "I
know all alout your birth." there is
an air of undoubted truth about these
words that strikes cold to her heart
"and I tell you airain, that you am not
only humbly but basely born!"
"She shudders violently.
A low cry escapes her, and w ith the hand
that still remains free she covers her face.
At this instant lVnruddock. followed by
Mr. Wilding iwith w hom he is earnestly con
