NETTA HEARD had been to see her cousins--a circumstance that occurred so frequently that it would be hardly worth mentioning, if Daniel had not distinguished himself by being markedly rude to her. Phoebe was much puzzled and distressed by this new freak of his. Netta and he had hitherto been such good friends that, though both were much too young for anything like a formal engagement, all their friends had recognised it as a fact that they belonged in some sort to each other. Netta had arrived with her mind quite full of some new poem she had been reading, her delight in which she was longing to share with Daniel. He, however, scarcely waiting to hear even the name of the new poem, began to dilate on the delights of Saturday's skating expedition, and on the charms and beauties of the young lady who had organised it. She Poor Netta was quite bewildered. was not strong-minded, trifles were very serious things to her, and she had had such faith in this cousin, that it was a great blow to her to find that he could be so much delighted by a girl who was almost a stranger to him. She listened patiently and politely as long as she could, and then, with a growing heartache, rose to go, pleading fatigue as an excuse for leaving so early. It had always been Daniel's business and pleasure to escort her home, and no one would ever have ventured to forestall him in the matter. To-night, however, when Netta came downstars with her bonnet on, he did not move. "Daniel," said Phoebe, "Netta wants to go." Without rising from his seat, Daniel replied very calmly : "Ah, good-night, Netta. Excuse my going with you to-night. I've got a cold, and I am afraid of the night air." The tears rose into Netta's eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall, and replied as calmly : "Pray do not disturb yourself. I can very well go alone." Of course Luke would not allow that. He rose promptly, and, darting an indignant look at his brother, said: "I am quite at your service, Netta, and only too delighted to be so. Please let me take you home." "Ah!" sighed Daniel, " you are as strong as a horse, Luke. You never know what it is to be tired, or to have to take care of yourself." Luke did his best to make up for Daniel's neglect by the most marked politeness to his cousin, but Netta, though she admired and respected him exceedingly, looked upon him as quite a middle-aged man. His company could hardly be to her what Daniel's was. When Luke came back from his walk, he immediately sought Phoebe in the kitchen, where, as usual at that time of day, she was busily employed in washing the china and silver used at tea. She heard his footstep, and spoke without looking round: "Ah, Luke, I am glad you've come in, dear! Will you put these things into the cupboard for me? "Are you very busy, Phoebe?" answered he. "I have brought a friend to see you." "What do you mean, Luke? I cannot come upstairs for ever so long. But you are joking. I have no friends, you know." "Allow me to contradict that statement," said a voice which made Phoebe start in astonishment. She knew to whom it VOL. XXXVI. 862 |
