She was quite a different Lady Lati mer then. It seemed as though all the ’brightness and the sparkle died out of her. She looked borod by everything. She eat little and drank less. She looked unutterably wearied. Very few words were spoken, and it was a great relief when we withdrew. We went to the drawing-room, whore the lamps were lighted, but not turned on full. “Come, Audrey, to the terrace," she said, “and let us see the May moon shining over the trees and the fountains.” As we Btood watching it she sud denly caught my hand, and with a pas sionate gesture I shall never forget, she eried: “Oh, Audrey, Audrey! Is life worth living after all?” I was very much puzzled by Lady Latimer. It seemed to me that hav ing so much money, living in such a magnificent house, the fact of being surrounded by every possiblo luxury under the sun, ought to have made her at least content. If she had passed through those magnificent rooms with a smile or a snatch of song on her lips, or the light of a glad content in her eyes, I could have understood. She seemed to have two moods. When she was with the old lord., silence, weariness, with a certain fine scorn of all and everything; when she was with me, of simple, almost child-like merri ment. When it was possiblo for her to escape the stately, gloomy presence of her husband, she did so, and then it was to hurry to me and bey that I would go out with her; and when we were in the woods together sho forgot that slje was Lady Latimer, and ran after butterflies, gathered wild flow CF2 lilto ally simpl4 country girl. We spent ho.u’| in those bonny Lortou woods. They were like, fairy-land. The boughs of the trerf met overhead, so that the sunlight winch fell on the green grass below becamg filtered, as it were, through the leaves; a beauti ful brook ran through the wood, sing ing, rippling, clear as crystal, so that one could see the pebbles plainly in its bed; blue forget-me-nots j^rew on its banks, and the green grass was wet with the shining water. The trees in T Altfnm .j innHA inll with great spreading boughs, and the birds had built nests in them. Surely no other wood or forest ever held so many birds, and surely no other birds ever sung so sweetly as these. Every kind of fern and of wild flower grew there; great sheaves of bluebells, of wild strawberry blossoms, and of the lovely, delicate meadow-sweet. It was a wood full of hidden beauties; we were always finding fresh nooks and corners, each • one more beautiful than the other. Lady Latimer loved it. We sat for hours together by the side of the brook, talking on every possi-. ble subject except one. We never spoke of herself. I had to go over and over again all the details and rou tine of our homo life. Lady Latimer loved to hear of my father’s study and his sermons, and how he visited the sick, and how nervous he was if « baby cried while he was baptizing it; how he cheered the old people, and how kind he was to the young men and maidens of his parish; how he loved the boys, and secretly enjoyed the fun of them. She liked to hear about my mother. “I should think, Audrey,’’ she said to me one day, “from your 'descrip tion, that your mother must be that wonder of wonders—a perfect woman. She is a saint in church, a help in the stndy, a manager in the kitchen; a mother in the nursery and a lady in the drawing-room.” “She is all that,” I answered laugh ing, although my eyes were full of tears; that was my mother’s 'portrait t» perfection. Lady Latimer liked best of 'all to hear about the boys; their adventures, their escapades, their desperate en counters, their daily deadly peril of life and limb, amused her more than anything else. She would talk to me »» “*jo^**i nuou nuum us piuir able fate. I could Seo nothing before me but a few more quiet years at home, Vien probably a marriage with a high dhurchcurate; but Lady Lati mer wopld laugh and assure me there was something more than that in store for me. “We shall see what these dark eyes and that dark hair of yours will do for you, Audrey,” she would say. For my own part, I could not imagine why nature made, the oldest of nine chil dren and the daughter of a country vicar, beautiful. During all of those long :hours, when life at that vicarage was dissected and laid bare, no word was ever spoken of herself or of Lord Latimer. The longer I remained with them, the greater grew my wonder that she had married him. He was so old, so dull, so gloomy; she so young, so fair, so gay. But no allusion to her marriage ever crossed her lips or mine. I en joyed my visit. I loved Lady Latimer; everything and every one was pleasant and agreeable to me, and when the time-of my visit ended, I returned to the vicarage. I should like to de scribe that first night of mine at home —how the boys surrounded me, and would insist upon every detail, the most absorbing of which were what I had to eat and to drink. Their eyes opened widely at the history of one of the dinners at Dorton’s Cray. Charley, who was always suspected of being a gourmand, cried ecstatically, “I wish I had been there!” The result of our conversation was an anxious inquiry i as to whether Lady Latimer meant to invite them, and when I told them that she had even fixed on a day, their delight knew no bounds. I was not much surprised a few days afterward, to find Lord Latimer in my father’s study, and he had come with a request, a petition, a prayer from Lady Latimer. It n>mu t a l/iaa * T Vy.
