CHAPTER VII
18/27

As soon as the players were released, Kilian came over and sat beside me.

He rather wearied me, for I wanted to listen to the music, but he was determined not to see that, and chattered so that more than once Charlotte Benson turned impatiently and begged us not to talk.

Once Mr.Langenau himself turned and looked at us, but Kilian only paused, and then went on again.
Mary Leighton had fled to the piano and was gazing at the keys in a rapt manner, hoping, no doubt, to rouse Kilian to jealousy of the tutor.

"Then come on the piazza," he exclaimed, and we were there almost before I knew what I was doing.
