A oo&ob from the Blue Lion had been crd^red tu pteaent itself at a quarter past 6, promptly, and at th« time speoifled it ratuad up to the door with moon spiritâ€" with 80 mach spirit, indeed, that Miss Belinda was a Kttle alkrmed. "Dear, doarl" she said. "I hope the driver will be able to control the horse, and will not allow him to go too fast. Une he«ra of snoh terrible aooidents." Then Mary Anne was sent to annoonce the arrival of the equipage to Mias Ootavia, and, having performed the errand, came back, beaming with smiles. '• Oh, mum," she exclaimed, " yon never see nothin' like her ! Uer gowud ia 'evingly. An' lor' I how yon do look yourself, to be sure." Indeed, the laoe rafllea on her " best " black silk, and the little cap on her smooth hair, had done a great deal tor Mies Baseett, and Hhe had only just been reproaching herself for her vanity in reoognizing this faot. Bat Mary Anne's words awakened a new train of thought. " Is -is Miss (.)ctavia's dress a showy one, Mary Anne?" she inquired. "Dear me, I do hope it is not a showy dress ! " '• I never a-e nothin' no eleganter, mum," said Mary Anne. " She wants nothin' but a veil to make a bride oat of her â€" an' a becominer thing she never has wore." I hey heard the soft sweep of skirts at that moment, and Ootavia came in. " There I " she said, stopping when she had reached the middle of the room. " la that simple enoagb 7 " Mis3 beliuda could only look at her bolp- lessly. The " white muslin " was composed almost entirely of Valencinnes lace; the blue ribbons were embroidered with liuld daisies ; the air of delioate elaborateness about tbo whole was sometbing which her innocent mind could not have believed passible in orthodox white and blue. '* I don't think I should oall it exactly simple," she said. " My love, what a quantity of lace I " Ootavia glanced down at her jabots and frills complacently. " There it a good deal of it," she remark- ed ; " bat then it ia nice, and one can atand a good deal of nice Valonoiennes on white. They said Worth made the dress. I hope he did. It coat tnookh. The ribbon was embroidered by hand, I aoppose. And there is plenty of it cat up into these bows." There was no more to be said. Miss Belinda led the way to the ooacb, which they entered under the admiring or oritioal eyes of several moat respectable families, who had been lying in wait behind thtir window curtains hinoe they b|iJk bctn summoned th»re by the soundof tiflUs. As tho vehicle rattled past the bORding' school, all the yoang ladies in the first class ruahi-d to the window. They were rewarded for their zeal by a glimpse of a cloud of maslin and lacu, a charmingly dreased yellow-brown head, and a pretty face, whoau eyes favored them with a frank iMlfp of interest. "Hhe had diamonds in her eata !" cried Mies Phipps, wildly excited. " I saw them Hash- Ah, how I should like to see her without wraps! I have no doubt sbo is a perfect bla/.e ! " CUAPTEU X. ANNOONCIMO MR. lUBOU). Lady Theobald's invited gaeats sat in tho faded blue drawing-room, waiting. Every- body had been unusually prompt, perhaps bcoaase everybody wished to bj on the ground in time to seo Miss Ootavia Baasett make her rntranoe- " I should think it would be rather a trial, even to such a girl as she ia said to bo," re- marked one matron. "It ii but natural that she should feel that Lady Theobald will regard her rather orilioally, and that she should know that American manners will hardly be the thing for a genteel and conservative English country town-" " Wu saw ber a few days ago," said Luoia, who chanced to hear this speech, " and she is very pretty. I think 1 never saw any one ao very pretty before." "Bat in quite a tbreatrioal way, 1 think, my dear," the matron replied, in a tone of gentle oorrection. " I have seen ao very few theatrioal people," Lacia answered, sweetly, " that I scarcely know what the theatrical way ia, dear Mrs. Burnham. Her dress was very beautiful, and not like what we wear in Blowbridga; but she seemed to me to be very bright and pretty, in a way quite new to me, and so just a litile odd." " I have heard that her droaa is moat ex- travagant and wasteful," put in Mies I'ilcher, whoae eduoational position en- titled her to the ooiidescendiug respect of her patrontsa. " Bhe has laoe on her morn- ing gowna which " " Miss Baasett and Miaa Ootavia Bas- sett," aniiouuoed Dobson, throwing open the door." Lady Theobald rose from her aeat. A slight rustle made itself heard through the oompany, as the ladies all turned toward the entrance, and after they had so turned, there were evidenooa of a p isitive thrill. Before the eyes of all, Belinda tlasiett ad- vanced with rich ruftloa of Mechlin at her neck and wriats, with a delioate and dia- tkiotly novel cap upon her head, her niece following her with an unabashed face, twenty pounds' worth of laoe on her dresa, and anmistakable diamonds in her little ears. " There is not a thadow of timidity about her I " cried Mrs. Burnham, under breath. " This ia antual boldneus! " But thia wan a very severe term to uae, notwithatandiiig that it was horn of righteous indignation- It waa not boldneas at all. It was only the aerenity of a young peraon who waaqnite nnoonaoiousthat there was anything tu fear in the rather noim- poaing patty before her. Ootavia was accustomed to entering rooms full of strangers. Bhe had epent several years of her life in hotels, where she had been stared out of countenance by a few aoore new people every day. Bhe was even used to being in some sort a young person of note. It waa nothing nn usual for her to know that she waa being pointed out. " That pretty blonde," she often heard it said, " ia Martin Baaaett'a daughter. Bharp fellow, Baasett â€"and Inoky fellow, too. More money than he can count." Bo she waa not at all frightened when she walked in behind Miss Belinda. Bhe glanced about her oheerfully, and catching sight of Lucia, smiled at ber as she ad vanced ap the room. The oall of state Lady Theobald had mad« with her grand- daughter had been a very brief one, but Ootavia had taken a decided tansy to Laoia, and waa glad to see her again. "I am glad to see you, Beliuda," said her ladyship, shaking hands. " And you also, Misi Ootavia." " Thank yua," responded Ootavia. " You are very kind," Miss Belinda mar- mared grate folly. "I hope yoa are both woll?" said Lady heobald, with majeRiio ooodeaoension, and in tones to be hM.rd all over the room " Quite weU, thank yon," mormared Miss Belinda again. " Very well indeed.' Rather as if thia fortunate slate of affaire waa the result of ber ladyship's kind inter vention with the fates. Bbs felt terribly conaoioaa of being the centre of observation, and rather over- powered by the novelty of her attire, wbioh waa plainly creating a sensation, Octavia, however, who was far more looked at, was entirely oblivious of the painful promi- nence of ber position. Bhe remained stand- ing in the middle of the room, talking to Luoia, who had approached to greet her. Bhe was so much taller than Lacia that she looked very tall indeed by contrast, and also very wonderfully dressed. Luoia'a white mualin was one of Misa Cbickie's fifteen, and was, in a "genteel " way, very suggestive of Blowbridge. Suspended from Ojtavia'a waiat, by a long Icop of the em- broidered ribbon, waa a little round fan of downy, pale blue feathers, and with this she played as she talked ; but Lucia, bav ing nothing to play with, could ouly stand with her little hands hanging at her sides. " I have never been to an afternoon tea like thia before," Octavia said. " It is nothing like a kettlodrnm." " I am not sore that I knsw what a kettledram is," Luoia answered. " They have them in London, I think ; but I have never been to London." " They have them in New York," said Octavia, "and they are a crowded sort of afternoon parties, where ladies go in carriage-toilet, not evening dress. People are ruuhing in and out all the time." Lucia glanced around the room, and smiled. "That ia vary unlike thia," she remarked. "Well," said Octavia, "I should think that, after all, this might be nicer." Which was very civil. Lucia glanced around againâ€" thia time rather stealtbily- at Lady Theobald. Then she glanced back at Ootavia. " But it isn't," she said, in an undertone. Octavia began to laagh. They wore on a new and familiar footing from that moment. " I said ' it might,' " ahe answered. Hhe waa not alraid, any longer.of finding the evening stupid. If there were no young men, there was at least, a young woman who was in sympathy with ber. Bhe aaid : " 1 bopo that I shall behave myself pretty well, and do the things that I am expected to do." "Ob ! " said Lucia, with a rather alarmed expression. " I hope so. Iâ€" I am afraid yon would not be comfortable if you didn't." Octavia opened her eyes as she often did at Miss Belinda's remarks, and then sud- denly she began to laugh again. " What would they do? " she said, dis- respectfully. " Would they torn me oat, without giving me any tea? " Luoia looked still more frigbteoed. " Don't let them see you laughing," she said. " Theyâ€" they will aay you are giddy. ' "Oiddy!" replied Octavia. "I don't think there ia anything to make me giddy here." " If they say you are giddy," said Lacia, " your fate will be sealed, and, if you arc to stay here, it really will be better to try to please them a little." Ootavia retlectod a moment- " I don't mean to dtj-pleaae them," she said, " unless they are very easily dis- pleased. I Buppoae I don't thiuk very much about what people are sayirg of me. 1 don't seem to notice." " Will you oome now and let me intro- duce Miss Egerton and ber sister ?" sug- gested Luoia, hurriedly. "Grandmamma IS looking at us." In the innocence of her heart Ootavia glanct^d at Lady Theobald, and Haw that she was looking at them, and with a dis- approving air. " I wonder what that's (or 1 " ahe said to herself ; but she followed Laoia across the room. Bhe madu the acquaintance of Misses Egerton, who seemed rallier fiuttered, and, after the first exchange of civilities, sub- sided into monosyllables and attentive stares. They were, indeed, very anxious tu hear Octavia converse, but had not the courage to attempt to draw her out, iioltss a sudden ijuery of Miss Lydia's could be considered uuch au attempt. "Do yon like England?" asked Octavia. " Is this England? " inquired Ootavia. " It ia a part of England, of courae," replied the young lady, with calm literal- iiess. Then, of oouraa, I like it very mach," said Ootavia, slightly waving her fan and smiling. Mias Lydia Egerton and Miss Violet Egerton each regarded ber in dubious Bilenoe for a moment. They did not ifaiuk bhe looked as if she were " clever," but the speech sounded to both as if she wore, and as if she meant to be clever a littlo at their expense. Naturally, after that they felt slightly uncomfortable, and said less than before, and the conversation lagged to saoh an extent that Ootavia was not sorry when tea waa announoed. And it BO happened that tea was not the only thing that waa announced. The ladies had all risen from their seats with a gentle rustle, and Lady Theobald was mov- ing forward to marshal her prooesuion into thu dining-room, when Dobaon appeared at the door again. " Mr. Barold, my lady," ha skid, " and Mr. Iturmistone." , Everybody glanced first at the door, nd then at Lady Theobald. Mr. Francis Barold crossed the threshold, followed by the tall, eqnare-shonldered builder of milia, who waa a strong, handaome man, and bore himaelf very well, not aeeining to mind at all tho numerous eyea fixed upon him. "I did not know," said Barold, "that we should find you had gaeats. Beg pardon, I'm snre, and ao does Burmtstone, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at Broadoake, e.nd who waa good enoi^gh to invite ma to rilurn with hini." Lady Theobald extended her band to the gentleman specified. "I am glad," she said, rigidly, " to see Mr. Burmietone." Then ahe tamed to Barold. " This very is torttmate," she annonnced. " We are just going to take tea, in which I hope you will join ua. Luoia ." Mr. Francis Barold naturally turned, as her ladyship uttered her granddaughter's name in a tone of command. It may be supposed tl)at his first intention in taming was to look at Lucia, but he had scarcely done so, when his attention waa attracted by the figure nearest to herâ€" the figure of a young lady, who was playing with a little b ue fan, and smiling at him brilliantly and unmistakably. The next moment he waa standing at Octavia Baasett's side, looking rather pleased, and the blood of Slowbridjja was congealing, as the aignificanoe of the situation was realized. One instant of breatbleasâ€" of awful â€" suspense, and her ladyship recovered her- self. " We will go in to tea," sho said. " May I ask yoa, Mr. Burmistoue to aooompany Miss Pilcber ? " CnAPIER XI. A HUaUT INDI3CBKTI0N. Daring tbe remainder of the evening, Mias Belinda waa a prey to wretchnees and despair. When she raised her eyes to her hostess, she met with a glance fall of icy sigmfiance ; when she looked across tbe tea-table, ahe saw Ootavia seated next to Mr. Francis Barold, monopolizing bis attention, and apparently in the very beat possible spirits. It only made matters worse that Mr. Francis Barold seemed to find her remarks worthy of liia attention. He drank very little tea, and now and then appeared much intereated and amused. In fact, be found Mias Octavia even more entertaining than he had found her during their journey. Sho did not hesitate at all to tell him that she waa delighted to see him again at this particular juncture. " You don't know how glad I was to see yon come in," she said. Bhe met bis rather startled glance with the most open oaudor as she spoke. " It ii very oivii of you to say ao," he aaid ; " but you can hardly expoot me to be- lieve it, you know. It ia too good to be true." "I thought it waa too good to be true when the door opened," she answered, cheerfully. " I should have been glad to see aiiyhodj/, almost ." " Well, that," he interpoasd, " isn't quite ao civil." " It is not quite so oivil to ." But there she checked herself, and asked him a question with the most naive seriousness. " Are yon a great friend of Lady Theo- bald's 7 " she said. " No," be answered. " I am a relative." "That's worse," she remarked. " It is," he replied. " Very much worse." "I asked yoa," ahe proceeded, with an entrancing little smile of irreverent approval, "because I was going to say that my last speech waa not quite ao civil to Lady Theobald." " That is perfectly true," he responded. " It wasn't civil to her at all." He waa passing his time very comfort- ably, and was really surprised to feel that be was more interested in these simple audacities than he had been in any conver- sation for some time. Perhaps it was because his companion was so wonderfully pretty, bat it is not unlikely tliat there wore also other reasons. Bhu looked bim straight in the eyes, she comported herself after the manner of a young lady who was enjoying herself, and yet he felt vaguely that she might have enjoyed herself quite as much with Burmistoue, and that it was probable that she would not think a second time of him, or of what she aaid to him. After tea, when they retnrned to tbe drawing-room, the opportuntiea aflorded for ounversalion were not numerous. The piano was opened, and one after another of the young ladies were invited to exhibit their prowess. Upon its muaioal education Blowbridge prided itaelf. " Few towua," Mias Pildber fre<jaently remarked, "could be congratulated npon tbe possession of iiiWi talent and tuch cultivation." The Misses Egerton playtd a dnet, tbe Misses Lof tus Bang, Miss Abercrombie " executed a suuata witb snob effect as to melt Miss I'ilcher to tears ; tind still Octavia hud not bfien called upon. There might have been a rearon for this, or there might not ; but the moment arrived, at length, when Lady Theolitld moved towards Miaa Beliuda with evidently fell intent. (To be Continued).
