It was growing late in the fall now.

Mrs.Randolph began to talk of moving to the city for the winter.

Mr.Randolph more than half hinted that he would like as well to stay where he was.

But his wife said that for Daisy's sake they must quit Melbourne, and try what new scenes, and lessons, and dancing school would do for her.

"Not improve the colour in her cheeks, I am afraid," said Mr.Randolph; but however he did not oppose, and Mrs.Randolph made her arrangements.
It was yet but a day or two after the tableaux, when something happened to disturb her plans.
