went back to the gardens in excellent spirits, to talk and to watch a game of tennis which had taken form on the court.

      Emily Fox-Seton’s pleasure had not abated, but her colour had done so. Her limbs ached and her still-smiling face was pale, as she stood under the beech-tree regarding the final ceremonies of the festal day, to preside over which Lady Maria and her party returned from their seats under the ilex-trees. The National Anthem was sung loudly, and there were three tremendous cheers given for her ladyship. They were such joyous and hearty cheers that Emily was stirred almost to emotional tears.

      “Oh, Lady Maria! oh, Lord Walderhurst!” she said, when she managed to get to them, “how kind you are to me!”
