I hope soon to have the pleasure of seeing you again." And with an inclination of the head toward Mr.Percival, he departed.
"Why did you ask him that question ?" said Flora.

"Are you afraid of anything ?" "Not in the slightest degree," answered Mrs.Delano.

"If, without taking much trouble, we can avoid your being recognized by Mr.

If he happens to see you, I shall tell him you sought my protection, and that he has no legal power over you." The conversation diverged to the Alhambra and Washington Irving; and Flora ended the evening by singing the Moorish ballad of "Xarifa," which she said always brought a picture of Rosabella before her eyes.
The next morning, Mr.Green called earlier than usual.
