CHAPTER VII.
Very pleasant was the reception Jeanette Roland gave Mr.Romaine.

There was no reproof upon her lips nor implied censure in her manner.

True he had been disguised by liquor or to use a softer phrase, had taken too much wine.

But others had done the same and treated it as a merry escapade, and why should she be so particular?
Belle Gordon would have acted very differently but then she was not Belle, and in this instance she did not wish to imitate her.

Belle was so odd, and had become very unpopular, and besides she wished to be very very pleasant to Mr.
Romaine.
