had not written for three years, but I did not
doubt lie was John Fairlie still.
Early On the 2411') I started for Lynedalc
Hall, knowing that he would welcome me.
No words of mine can tell what' that ride
lhrough the winter day was like. The
snow and frost were old friends; the cold
air, nfler the burning Indian blasts, so
invigorating ; the gray 'wiutry sky, the
bore hedges and leafless trees—l enjoyed
lhem all. - .
What would John say to me? How would
he greet me after all these years? Whit!
seemed more natural then lbs! I should
hurry to spend my Chrislmas with him i
It was five o‘clock when I reached Lyne-
dale Hall. The, windows were all aglow
with lighl and warmth. It was evident that
my'old friend's house was full of Christmas
gncsls. -
Afler dihncr I had Miss Kale all to myself.
N 0 one seemed to think I was worthy of
much notice, and no one seemed Io care for
her, although she was the prefiest, sweetest
girl in the room.‘ People took their one
from Lady Clara. who ignored as both. ,
,I was amused and touched by the girl’s
warm, deep love for her uncle. Her eyes
glislcned and her whole face grew bright at
lhe mention of his name. He seemed just
as fonzl of her, but dare not show it, poor
fellow. . '
Imus! tell how it was that 'so quick and
true a. sympathy sprang up between Kate
and myself. Perhaps because We both loved
John Fairlie so well; perhaps because a e
were both considered poor and obscure. I
know that night I dreamed of Kale Challas ;
for the first time in my life a woman’s face
and voice haunted mo. '
In answer lo‘ my inquiries, the fbolman
said Mr. Fairlie was at home. He ushered
me into the library, and went oil in search
of his master. ' . '
Five minutes aflerwards John stood be-
fOre me, but there was no gleam of recogni-
tion in his eyes. I looked earnestly at him.
The same honest, kindly face, but full of
anxious lines ; the same true, clear eyes,
with a shadow in them. .
‘_“John,” I cried, “do you not know "me 1'”
‘His ruddydl’onest faceL'tnrned quite, 'while.
“It cannot be Paul—Paul Hyllon l” he
said. ,‘ ,' ‘
“It is. indeed,” I replied ; “some to spend
Christmas with you.”
Then be grasped 'my hands as in an iron
vice, and I knew that he was unchanged.
“My dear old friend,” he said, with quiv-
ering lips “I am so pleased to see you I"
I thought he would never finish shaking
my hands, or bidding me welcome home.
' God bless him. Imight have known he
would be true. ,
We talked for half an hour without stop-
ping-rof our parling, of old times and old
friends; then John’s kindly eyes reeling on
my lravellng suit he said : ,
“So lhe world has not prospered with
you Paul i" -
I smiled, but did not undeoeive him feel-
ing, for the first time, proud and happy that
I was a millionaire, resolving to keep my
secret for a day or two, then surprise him.
At that very moment the library door
opened and a stately lady entered the room.
“Oh, I beg portion,” she said, coldly ; “I
did not know that you were engaged. Per-
haps with a house-full of visitors, you Can
spare time for more than one I”
“A hint to me.” I thought. Never did I
see such a change as at. the sound of that
voice, came over poor John. He had been
so happy, so merry, so kind—now he stood
.up confused and hesiluliug.
“To be sure, my dear," he said meekly,
“to be sure i I am very re_miss,L.~ldy Clara.
Let me introduce my oldfriend Paanyllon
to you”. . ' ,
Christmas day was c‘old and snowy. I
went to church with Kate Cllnllas and John.
Neither my lady or her guests dare venture
out in “such unscasonable weather,”
My companigns were like two children
out of- school; the way_in which John
laughed and talked, growing grave and
serious when my lady's name was men-
tioned; and Rule, daring to be her own
natural self, proved. to be the merriest'
sweetest, most Winsome girl in the world. .
II. '
That day, during dinner, I heard that my
old house. Ayllon Grange, was for sale. -I
resolved to purchase ll, for yahoo sweet
dreams of wife and home began to slenl
over me. I placed the matter in the hands
of my solicitor, telling him to keep my
secret. and not let the purchaser’s name

and Kate the Same; while my lady and her
daughter looked down upon me from the
height of their grandeur.. Yet I was vain
enough to think that had Miss Ada known
I was a millionaire,she would have liked me.
Once or twice in the absence of her stately
momma, she tried a small passage at arms-
with me. Her ladyship having accidentally
entered in the midst of one of these little:
afi‘airs. I was most unconsciously :1 Helena.
some lime afterwards, to a conversation,
in which my name figured lo a great extent
“Ada,” said her ladysbip, “how can you
think of wasteing your time talking to thal
mun, while Sir George Carew and Lord
Butt-man are in the house.
“He is a very nich man, mamma,” was
the pert reply, “and talks to me which Sir
George never does."
“He is as poor as a church mouse i” said
her ladyship abgrily. "I hope he does not
intend sponging on us much longer. 'He
has been unfortunate in India, or something
of the kind."
“Nice men always are either poor or un-
Not a word l” she replied—“not a fold of

How I blessed Madam Cerise for her at

“What does- Kale say herself?” asked
John. _‘ '
“Kate ‘2” cried Lady Clara, contemptons—
ly. “She pretends to be surprised; but it
seems strange to me. I do not like any-
thing underhand——9'
John rang thebell impetuonsly.
“Send Miss Challis to me' at once i” he
said ; and in two minutes she came in,
smiles and tears struggling for mastery.
looking so pretty, and so shy, so happy and
so puzzled, I-longed to clasp her in my
arms, and kiss her tears away. .
“Kate." said Jobn,“can you guess who
has made you this very handsome and vs!-
uable present. ?" .
“N o uncle,” she replied, no one has ever
given me anything except you.”
"That will do, my dear,” he said. “Wear
your dress, and look as nice as you can in
ii.”
Kate made her escape. Lady Clara look-
ed both bafiled and Spilcful.
“Your niece must have a fairy god-
mother ?” she said coutempluously, “I do
not like mysteries, nor do I approve of a
poor, penniless girl like Kate being dressed
like a duchess. However I Walsh my hands
of it I"
She went away. All this lime I sat pre-
tending lo read. When Lady Clara closed
lhe door, poor John sighed heavily.
“Who can have sent Kate that dress 7” be
said. “I shall never hear me last of it?
Yet I am glad some one cares for the child.
I. wish to goodness She were happily mar-
“Why net i” I asked briefly.
“I think Miss Adi-is jealous of her,” said
John. ,
“Nellie’s child isvery pretty, and good as
she is fair. She glad‘ens and brightens my
life Pauli,” '
“She should marry a neighbor,” I said,
“then you could. lake re c with her some-
times.” '
John had ceased all pretence with me, he
knew that I knew that he was henpecked
and lyrannized over in no light degree.
John was like myself, very anxious to see
Kate in her brave attire. We contrived to
send for her lo the library when *she' was
dressed and I know not who was the most
startled, John or ‘I. ‘ .
She looked magnificently lovely. The
slender, girlish figure robed in a flowing
dress of while, shining silk, shrouded in
costly lace—the graceful head, with ils fair
hair wreathed wilh lilies and clusters of
scarlet vex-hena—every delail was perfect;
the while satin shoes, the dainty while
gloves, lhc costly fan, the bouquet of lilies
and verbenas—the-brigbt, sweet face shone
out from the silk and lace so fair and saucy.
“Well done Kate i” cried John. You I
would rather give Kalle to you than to ”a
prince. Go and ask her yourself; see what
she says, and lhcn bring her to me." I
I went knowing pretty well that about
this lime Kate would-be out for her morn-
ing walk'.
Fai- down amidst the leafless trees I ~law
lhe glimmer of her dress. Ii was a bright,
clear, cold winter’s day. The snow had
vanished and the frost set in. The ground
was cold, hard and while, the holly if“!
and laurel bushes were frozen, the sky deep
dark blue, and the sun shining.
The a ind made grand music in the lime- '
trees; it seemed to be chanling a solemn
hosanna, rising at times too a. loud, mourn-
ful dirge, then dying away to a soft, . low
whisper.”
I overtook Kate as she entered the long
avenue of limes. , '
, Her shy sweet face turned to me will: a
startled gaze. ' , -
“May I walk with you I” I asked; “I .a'm
leaving Lynedale to-morrow, and .want you
to do something for me before I go.”
“Leaving Lynedule l" she cried, but fair
face growing white and wistful; “I am so
sorry, Mr. Hyllon.”
Really i". I cried. "Oh, Kate do you real-
ly care for my going i" ‘ .
She tried to run away fi-om me then, but
I held her fast, and—well. you know the
rest. Dear render, it was the old story, and
I told it in words that moved Kale. At
least I succeeded; for there came a time
when lhelitlle hand ceased to tremble in
mine, and the fair, pure thee was hidden in
any heart I a ”
She loved me. All! where was the cold
of lhe winler’s day now ? Warmth, . love,
John stood lhe tcsl so we“, '1 did not care ried—Lady Clara will never be food ofher.” and happiness we“ all around me. Earth
was changed into fairyland.
Shall I ever forget .how she laid her hand
upon my arm, and lookingat me with a
smile, said—“I shall not mind being poor
at all; there are so many things I could do
to help you, if you would let me, Pant".
I promised she should help me; then rec-
ollecling John, took her back to the library,
where he had waited palieully an hour and
a-llalf. '
She is willing, John l”I cried. .
- And I do not know which of the three
was the most pleased. 4
“We must lell Lady Clara,” he exclaimed ,
suddenly. And then we exchanged a look
of comic dismay. -
“You had better take the news yourself,
Paul,” said my old friend. And I agreed
with him. .
Lady Clara was alone in her own boudoir.
Never shall I forget her look of rigid cork
tempt.
“Of course,”. she said, “if Mr; Fairlie has
given his consent, I have nothing to do
with the-matter; Miss Challis is not under
my control. I may, perhaps, be penalized
to say I think it ”singular arrangement—

CHAPTER I.
‘ When I sloodon boardllle Ocean Queen,
9. steamer outward bound, Ibude farewell
lo the only friend Ihad in the world. When
John Fairlie bade me God speed, wrung my
[land in his own, and turned from me, I had
looked my last upon the only face I cared
for. '
I shall never forget his last words;
“Remember, Paul," he'said, “that whether
you win or fail, you have ‘a'true friend and
a brother in me. While I have a shilling
half of it is yours. While I have a home you
shall share it. If India fails, came back to
me and we will be brothers in everything;
and remember, return when .you may, your
first visit must be to my house. You ‘niusl
come straight there.”
They were kind words, and he meant
every one of them. We had always been
like brothers. I had- no one in the wide
world but John Fairlie. He was about five
years older than I. At the lime I left Eng-
land for India, I was just twenty and he
9
wenty-five. .
My. father, Stephen Hyltnn, of Hylton
Grange, had been a wealthy, soxilary man.
He must have had some grmt secret griefin
his life that struck him from lhe-roll of liv-,
ing men. Perhaps it was my mother’s early
death that embittered him. I do not know ;
his troubles were a, sealed book to me.
- we lived a life of complete isolnlion,never
seeing friends or visilors. My father, who
was an accomplished scholar educated me
' himself.
The only friend I had was. John Fairlie,
ot Lynedale Hall, the only son of old Squire
Fairlie. He was my comrade, playfeilow
and brother in everything but name—kind
to me, fond lo me,’truc as steel. His father
died when John was twenty, and then he
became Squire of Lynedale.
My father was ruined soon afterwards. 1
never knew'his secrets. To this day I am
quite ignorant of the cafisc of his downfall.
Hylton Grange and everything .we had in
the world was sold. For some short lime he
struggled on in London, lbcn died, keeping
his secret to the last. A distant relative of
his—some third or fourth cousin—exerted
his influence for me, and I was sent. off to
India. V ' _ .
Of course John- Fairlie came to see me
start, after exhausting his ingenuity in pro-..
vidfng me with every comfort for lhe long
voyage. Tears such as a woman shed stood .
in my eyes, when the honest, kindly face
passed out of my sight, and l was quite
alone in the world. - ' , ,
' .For five years I had struggled with for-.
tune, which seemed all against me during
that time. I wrote constantly to John, and
he never missed a mail. .
He married the same year I left England,
and was‘cVidenlly very proud 'of the fact-—
actually married a young widow with two
duhghlers. Lady Clara Ross, one of the
handsomesl women in England.
After that I fancied John’s lellers were
colder in tone. When I spoke of ill-fortune
his sympathy was not so warm or so ready
as formerly. ' ‘3
So'when I began to grow rich I did not
tell him, although ~my low: for him never
altered. ncv~ r changed or cooled. Our car-
respondcnce almost ceased. .
After a lime money seeni'ed to grow under
my hands like magic; everything I loucbed
turned to gold. For and near Paul Hyllon
was known as one of the wealthiest and
most fortunate of men. I was. nmiilionairc,
yet there was no one in‘ the wide world to
love me. I had neither kilh not kin. I
would have parledwilh all my gold for only
one of the blessings that fall to the lot of
other men. , ' ‘ ' y 1 .
After fifteen. years I grew iired of India
,Jifc, and resolved to :go home‘ to England|
and there enjoy the fortune labor had won.
I reached London on the 23d of December.
There was no one to meet me, no face to
smile upon me, no voice to bid me welcome.
Neither mother. siSlel', brother or friend ;
'_my heart was cold {ind sad. Every one else
seemed happy rand unilll:tled——'I-was,ol6ue.
My hearty-earned for my old friends-{or
the sake'ofawarm hand-clasp'and a kindly
, word. ‘- ‘ I remember
f~
.vu. .V't'
«-
it
his ”farewell. True, we
asked John. “He will» want good fires;
England is very cold after India.” ~
“I understood you that our list of guests
was quite complete,” said Lady Clara,
baughlily. "You had- better send -for1he‘
housekeeper ; ' there are no rooms to spare."
So saying, with a decided frown, she swept.
from 'the room. -
I saw it all, John was fearfully henp-tcked.
He stood feebly trying to smile, rubbing his
hands, and looking ruefnllv at me.
“Lady Clara is—is tired to-night,” he
said ; “we have. so many visitors.”
“John," I said, “be quite frank With me.
I am an uninvited guest; ' I have come
at an inopportune moment will go away
again.” '
He flushed crimson. ~'
“Nolhing of the kind," he said; “how can '
you Speak so, Paul.- You are my friend'—
my guest—welcome always, as are flowers
in May. Lady Clam is rather peculiar; she
has always been amongst grand people, you
know, I think it would, perhaps, be as well‘
not to say that you have been unfortunate
befare‘her; she would not understand, you
see.” . _ ' .
He looked so miserably conscious, so rue-
fhl, so fond of me, and so frightened at his
wife, I could not forbear Smiling.
The housekeeper came, a room was found
ale—more thanks to old Mrs. Green’s re-
membrance Of me as “yonug'Hylton of Hy!-
ion" than from any interest on the part of
Lady Clara- I was shown upstairs, and told
the dinner hour was seven. .
While I was dressing, John stole quietly
into my room.
“Paul," he said, in a hushed valce. “if
there is anything you want, remember my
wardrobe is yours—baveno scruples.”
, I thanked .IIIIII wilhu smile, thinking if
my dear old friend only knew.
The first dinner bell rang, and I went
down to the drawing-room whefe all the
guests were assembled. There I‘wu's intro-
duced to Miss Ada Ross—Lady Clara’s
daughter (tile youngest sister was married
that same year), and lo John’s two children,
a charming boy and girl. _
Miss Ada Ross measured me accurately
wilh her eyes. They expressed nothing but
contemptuous indifference unzil they lighted
suddenly upon a valuable diamond ring I
wore upon one finger—a ring that had once'
been chief of a rajzlh’s' treasure. Then she
gave me a puzzled look, asking us plainly as
eyes could do . want a poor, uninvited guest
did with such a jewel as that ?
She was a brilliant rather than a beautiful
girl, with dark flashing eyes, a fine face, and
a full figure, something like her mother.
John’s two children rcSembed him.
Just as we were going to dinner a Young
gfrlslole noiselessly into the rdom—a girl
who riviled my attention at once. She had
a sweel face, fresh and fair, with clear, il'llc
eyes. and the most beautiful moulh I ever.
beheld. No one appeared to take any notice
of her. She was plainly dressed,vwiihoul
, any jewels or ornaments; but in my eyes
she was peerless as a graceful young queen.
I had just time to ask John who she was.
“The dearest and best girl in the world,"
he said, hurriedly ; “my poor sister Nelliia’s
child. ‘ She is dead you know, and Kate is
living with us. 1 will introduce her to you,
Paul.”
ifl might take her down to dinner. Pimr
child! I read such a story in her swcel,
downcast face. She trembled and flushed
when Lady Clara spoke to her or came near
to her, and seemed overpowered at the bare
idea of Miss Ada Ross. I read a story of
feminine opplession and cruelly; I under-
stood lhe girl’s miserable position ; lhe
taunts she received from Lady Clara, and
the envy and jealousy of Miss Ross.
John Fairlie loved the girl; I’could see
that very plainly. He spoke to her several
times during dinner, and was solicilous
about what she ate and di‘aak.
' It was a pleasant party, despite Lady
Clara and her proud daughter. The dining
room was magnificently decorated. _ The
.yule log blazed upon lhehenrlh ; the dinner
. was recherche and -,weli served. ; the- guests
happy and full of geiely. . Christmas cheer,
Christmas,- welcome, Christmas hospitality
reigned supreme. " ‘ , “ ’
r.- ..l‘l'
He did so, and I asked Miss .Kaie ChulIas, ‘
. ' non whom it camel”
mas ball should be given on the thirtieth,
and the whole place was in a ferment of
preparation.
Kate and I spent many happy hours in
helping wilh the decorations, - and twining
lhe scarlet-berrie'd holly and shining laurel
with dark green fir. We grew very friendly
over it, and I began to think that such a
face as hers smiling in my 'home would
make it like a heaven for me.
“I am so fond of dancing,”' said Kate to
me one morning. “I Shall enjoy this ball
very much.”
“So shall I, if you Will dance with the
Kate,” I said; not without.”
She half promised. Judge of my surprise
when two hours afterwards, I met her in the
grounds, her sweet face stained wilh lears.
“What is the mailer, Kale ?”_ I cried.
You have been crying. Tell me, what it is.
I drew her arm in mine, and led her
through the shrubbery, where the snow lay
while upon the trees.
“What is it i” I asked again.~
Kate."
“I ought to be ashamed of myself for cry-
ing," she said; but Lady Clara has decided
that~I am not to go to the ball.”
“Why not i” I asked.
“I have no dress," said Kale; and with so
many visitors at the hall. Lady Clara thinks
there is no lime to see about one.”
“Where does Lady Clara’s come from ?”
I asked quietly.
“From London," replied Kate. “Dresses
for my aunt and cousin were ordered three
days since.” ' ._'
“Buy a dress, Kate I suggested.
“I have no money,” she said, simply,
with a smile.
“My uncle buys every lhing for me. He
will not know I want this until it is to late."
“What a thing it is to want money,” I
said. And Kale looked at me with a gen-
tle sympathclic gleam in her eyes.
‘ “I No not care very much," she said ; “but
I had promised to dance with you.”
“I clasped the little hand that lay on my
arm, andeatc's sentence was never afinish
ed. -
{That very moment I went to my room
and wrote a letter to Madam Cerise, the
court milliner par excellence, and enclosing
a check for what I know now to be u ridi-
culously extravagant amount, I ordered
from her it magnificent ball dress, and every
detail complete. I described Kale—her
Size and appearance—and left the rest to
lhe we l-knowu taste of Madam Cerise.
Kule’s sunny temple ncvcl' showa itself so
clearly as now. Although she belived
there - was no hope for her, she took just as
much interest in the ball,.and. never Com-
plained lo her uncle.
. , ’l‘lle all-important day came round. Lady
Clara gave me verydistinctly lo understated
that lhe room in which I slept was wanted;
but John privately begged me to lake no
notice. “L-ldy Clara was overflircd and
anxious,” he said. ‘
It was soon :lflcr noon when a parcel was
sent. me by Miss Challis. I opened it and
found a most beautiful handkerchief, em-
broidered wilh hair, and the sender implor-
ed her uucle‘s old friend to accept the little
present.
My pretty simple Kale! I look it, and
thanked her when We met. '
,That evening. aboul two hours before the
ball began, I was with John in his favorite
retreat, the librar , when Lady Clara enter-
ed. Barclay reéogniziug my presence, she
began at once. ,
“Is it possible, John that you-have order-
de this box for Kale from London ? I can
hardly believe even you‘ capable of such
fully I" _ . '
"I have ordered nolhillg," cried John, “I
did not know Kale required anything.
“thll'do you mean ? . ‘ l '
.“' ‘ilcrc is a boxjust come from London,"
cried Lady Clara, “addressed to Miss Kate
Childish-containing the .most magnificent
dress I ever saw—Far better than I or my
daughter ean afford. Shoes, gloves fan
opera cloak, wreath, boquet and all com-
plete. If you did not order it, who‘did ?”
Tell me
»
' “Most certainly I did not i” said John,
emphatically. “Is there no bill or memo-
randum, or anything by which you can tell. -
I dare say Mr. Horfry will ask me as well.”
Joilu looked at her. - Bis old Indian
friend and the doctor asked out of civilin—
not a brilliant seleclion of partners certainly.
' “You are a good girl Kale,” he said
“Give me a kiSs, and then run away."
She raised her sweet face and kissed him.
No I could not stand that 1"
“Kiss me, too 1” I cried. “I am not your
uncle, but I am his oldest friend, and here
'is a piece of mistletoe—see 1”
Yes give hima kiss Kale," said John.
“Poor Panllbe has no one in the wide
world." » -
Bnl seeing how the fair face flushed and
o
the lips quivered I was content [0 kiss her
hand reverenlly, as though she had been a
young queen. -
And, indeed, John was right- Kale was
the belle of lhe ball. She had no luck of
partners. Lord Balema’n appeared to see
her for the first lime, and was charmed as
everybody could see. Lady Clara was very
angry, and during the only dance I had
with Miss 'Ross she expressed herself in
forcible language on the subject of Kate
Challis. ,
It was a very brilliant ball, and Kate en-
joyed it to her heart’s content. More than
once I saw John’s eye folll‘ming be: proud-
ly yel sadly. He knew She would have to
do bitter penance for this temporary sover-
eignty. Lord Bateman asked her to allow
him to take her down to supper, but Kate
pleaded her engagement to me.
When the evening was over, I found on
reflection, it had been the most pleasant of
my Ills. '

citement at-Lynedale, for some one brough;
the news that Hylton Grange had been
purchased by a stranger, and was to be al-
tered, enlarged and fitted up in magnificent
style. The place is already full of work-
men, superintended by a clever Londdn
architect.
Who was the purchaser? No one knew.
A stranger and a weallhy man who intend-
ed rcsidiug there himself. I listened to all
the remarks, lhe conjectures, and felt dc.
lighted that I had kep my secret. But for
that I might have been courted and flutter-
ed by Lady Clara and Miss Ada. Man is
weak; who can tell what might have hap
pened then '2 i.
As it was, my supposed poverty had given
me an insight inlo their real characters—ii
had taught me how to appreciate Kate’s viro
lues and John's noble character.
There came a day when nly old friend
called me him his library. his face was
white and his hands trembling—when be
asked me what were my plans for the future.
I knew as well as if hell-ad told me that
Lady Clara had been complaining of the
jellgth of my slay. “Remember," said John,

you wouldlike to start do not hesitate for
want of capital. We are brolhers you
know. In were a bachelor—"and here
poor John sighed deeply—"If l were a
bachelor you should share my home; but a
married man cannot do as he would.”
"I understand. Lady Clara thinks I have
been here long enough, John—is that it '1’”
He blushed and slammcrcd so confusedly,
I fell sure of having made a happy hit."
“There is one thing I must lug from you,
John before I leave. Give it lo me and I
shall be the happiest man in the world I
said. .
.J‘Anyll‘ling I have,” he replied, his honest
face brightening. ,
“Give me your niche, Kale, to be my
wife?” I‘said. . .
He literally gasped with astonishment.
"Mv niece—Kate l" he cried.
“YOnr niece—the sweetest, truest, best
and fairest girl ill lilo world ?" I replied.
“ 'Villingiy," I he said; most willingly.
But Paul, my dear boy, what will you keep
her on ? Kale cannot livé on air you'know."
“I will find the way and means if you
will use your influence for me," was my
reply. .

more lovable each lime. Lady "Clara look
very little notice of me, but was intensely
interested over the Grange. I heard of

John, and told him I was ready to , marr
if he would give me his niece. ‘
Lady Clara was co and contemptuous,
saying she would w' the wedding to be
as quiet as possible. Really, for a niece of
Mr. Fairlie,\of Lynedaie, it. was -a very
strange match. ' '
I sent down for a pretty, simple wedding,
dress for my darling, and the day came
when she was to be my own. I: did not
tell my aunt until _ lhe .wcding-b'reakfast
was over. No guests had been invited,
save the rector and the curate. Lady Clara,
