Fortunately, it was too dark for them to ree

getting rid of her bonnet and mantle before
they had managed, to get out, as Laura insist

placed! on a' sofa, where she lay until after the
tea tray was carried out, and then, calling her,

Who was there Fanny?' asked she at

6 Oh, a stupid set! Excepting ourselvesand
Mr. and Mrs. Denton, there was , not a decent
creature there. Nea rly-all married people and
old bachelors. I declare, 1' have no patience
with such incongruous assemblies r •
' There was Hildreth's brother! lie is
quite a, beau, Pm sure; sad Clara expressed
unbnunded admiration

wl4kers, a few days slime.'
YeS, he Was there, and is certainly a very
uneXcePtionable young man. But what is the
use lof one bean among four girls? The two
Clays were, there, looking as forlorn as
Shakspaar's nighten,gale; and Clara monopo
lized Henry Bell, as though heobelonged to
her.'
'Certainly I did, said Clara; end so would ,
you, if he had given you the chance. Did you
ever see such h dress is Betty Clay had on ?
She looked - like a buckwheat cake in it'

notice it ?. Screwed. up':behind into an almost '
