Hamilton would not disturb her; and when she returned there was no trace of agitation, pale she was indeed, and her eye had lost its brightness, but that was too customary now to be deemed the effect of excited emotion, and no further notice was taken, save that perhaps the manner of her parents and Ellen towards her that night was even fonder than usual.

Emmeline joined not in the conversation.

Her father did not offer to show her the letter, and she stilled the yearnings of her young and loving heart.
