CHAPTER XIII. EVENING IN THE WOOD,
Ir happened that Mes. Pomfret had a slight quarrel with Mrs. Best, the house- keeper, on this Thursday morning—a fact , which had two consequences highly con- 'venient to Hetty. It caused Mrs. Pomfret | to have tea sent up to her own room, and it
§ inspired that exemplary lady’s maid with |
| so lively a recollection of former passages in |Mrs. Best’s conduct, and of dialegnes in ' which Mrs. Best bad decidedly the inferior- ity as an interlocutor with Mrs. Pomfret, that Hetty required no more presence of mind than was demanded for using her needle and throwing in an occasional ‘yes’ \or ‘no.’ She would have wanted to put on her hat earlier than usual; only she had (teld Captain Donnithorne that she usually set out about eight o’clock, and if he should go to the Grove again expecting to see her, ‘and she should be gone! Would he come ! , Her little butterfly soul fluttered inceesantly _ between memory and dubious expectation. ' At last the minute hand of the old-fashioned brazen faced time piece was on the last quarter to eight, and there was every reason for its being time to get ready for depart-
‘ure. Even Mrs, Pomfret’s preoccupied | mind did not prevent her from noticing what leoked like a new flash of beauty in & the little thing asshe tied her hat before | the looking-giass.
| ‘That child gets prettier and prettier ‘every day, | do believe,’ washer inward ;comment. ‘The more’s the pity. She'll get neither a place nor a husband any |sooner for it. Suber well-to-do men don't jlike pretty wives. When IL was a girl,

had been. It was as if she had been) wooed by a river-god, who might any time!
| Hetty’s eyes seemed to beseech him not to
go away yet; but he patted her cheek and \said ‘Good-bye’ again. She was obliged
|
| to turn away from him and go on.
' As for Arthur, he rushed back \throngh the wood as if he wanted to

| had fallen on her rose-colored strings: she knew that quite well,
‘Come, be cheerful again. S nile at me, ‘and tell me what is the matter, Come, tell ; me.° | Hetty turned her head toward him, whisper- ed, ‘I thought you wou da’t coma,’ and slowly got courage t» lift her eyes to him; | That look was too wuch; he must have had ‘eyes of Exyptian granite, not tc lovk to ‘lovingly in return. | ‘You little frightened bird ! little tearful |rose ! silly pet! You won't cry agsin, now Tun with you?
Ah ! he doesn’t know in the least what
he issaying. This is not what he meant to say. Hisarm is stealing round the waist again, it is tightening its grasp; he is bend- ing his face nearer and nearer to the round ‘cheek, his lips are meeting those pouting chi'd-lips, and, for a long mo nent t we has vanished, He may be a shepherd w Arcedia for aught he knows, he may be the fist youth kiesing the first maiden, he may be Eros himself, sipping ‘he lips of Psyche— it is all one.
There was no speaking for minutes after. ‘They walked along with beating hearts tiil they came within sight of the ga‘e at the end of the wood. Then they looked at each other, not quite as they had looked before, for in their eyes there was the memory of a kiss,
But already something bitter had begun to mingle itself with the fountain of sweets; already Arthur was uncomfortable. He
‘took his arm from Hetty’s waist, and | said :
‘Here weare almost atthe end of the Grove. 1! wonder how late it is,’ he added, pulling out his watch. ‘ Twenty minutes past eight—but my watch is too fast. However, I'd better not go any farther now. Trot along quickly with your little feet, and get h: me eafely. Good-bye.’ .
He took her hand, and looked at her half

put a wide space between him-
Hetty walked hastily across the short/self and Hetty. He would not go to
the Hermitage sgain; he remembered how he had debated with himself there before dianer, and it had all come to nothing—worse than nothing, He walked right on into the Chase, glad to get out of the Grove, which surely was haunted by his evil genius, Those beeches and smooth limes—there was something enervating in the very sight of them; bat
ing languor in them—the eight of them would give a man some energy. Arthur lost himself among the narrow openings in the fern, winding about without seeking
to night under the great boughs, and the hare looked back as it darted across his path,
He was feeling much more strongly than he had done in the morning ; it was as if his horse had wheeled reund froma leap, and dared to dispute hia mastery He was

If a chest full of lace, and satin, and jewels had been s-nt her from some unknown source, how could she but have thought that her whole lot was going to change, and that to-morrow some still more bewildering joy would befall her. Hetty had never read a novel;

by the gata.
She is at another gate now—that leading into Fir-tree Grove. She enters the wood, where it is already twilight, and at every step she takes the fear of hr heart becomes colder. If he should not come! Oh, how dreary it was—the thought of going out at the other end of the wood, into the un sheltered rood without having seen him.
She reaches the first turn toward the Hermitage, walking slowly—he is not there. She hates the leveret that runs across the path; she hates every thing that is not what she lonys for. She walks on, happy whenever she comes to a bend in the road, for perhaps he is behind it. No. She is beignning to cry; her heart has swelled so, the tears stand in her eyes; she gives one great sob, while the corners of her mouth quiver, and the tears roll down.
She doesn’t know that there is another turning to the Hermitage, that she is close against it, and that Arthur Donnithorne is only a few yards from her, full of one thought, and a thought of which she is the only object. He is going to see Hetty again—that is the longing which has been growing through the jast three hours to a feverish thirst. Not, of course to speak in the caressing way in which he had un- guardedly fallen before dinner, but to set things right with her by a kindness which would have the air of friendly civility, and |prevent her from running away with the | wrong notions about their mutual relation, | Jf Hetty had known that he was there, | she would not have cried; and it would | have been better; for then Arthur would ‘perhaps have behaved as wisely as he had
| intended. As it was, she started when he
appeared at the end of the side alley, and
looked up at him with two great drops
rolling down her cheeks. What else could
fied. He no sooner fixed his mind on the probable consequences of giving way to the emotions which had stelu over him to day—~o' continuing to notice Hetty. of allowing himself any opportunity for such slight caresses as he had been betrayed into already--than he refused to believe such a future possible for hrmeelf,
To flirt with Hetty was a very different affair from flirting with a pretty girl of his own siation—that was unders’ood to be an amusement of both sides; or, if it became serions, there was no obstacle to marriage. But this little thing would be spoken ill of directly, if she hap- pened to be seen walking with him ; and | then those excellent people, the Poysers, to whoma gocd name was 8 priciens os of they had the beet blood in the land in their veins —he should hate himself if he should make a scandal of that sort, on the estate that was to be his own some day, and among tenants by whom he liked, above all, to be respected. He could no more believe that he should so fall in his own esteem than that he should break both his legs and go on crutches al) the rest of his life. He couldn’t imagine himself in that position —it was too odious, too unlike him.
And, even if no one knew anythiog about it, they might get too fond of each other, and then there could be nothing but the misery of parting, after all. No gentleman, out of a ballad, could marry a farmer's niece. There must be an end to the whole thing at once. It was too foolish,
And yet he had been so determined this morning before he went to Gawaine’s, and while he was there something had taken hold of him and made him gallop back. It seemed he couldn't quite depend on his own resolution, as he had thought he could; he almost wished his arm wonld get pain- ful again, and then he should think of nothing but the comfort it would be to get rid of the pain. There was no knowing what impulse might seize him to-morrow, in this confounded place, where there was nothing to occupy him imperiously through the livelung day. What could he do to secnre himself from any more of this folly }
There was but one resource He would go and tell Irwine-—teil him every thing. That mere act of telling it would make it seem trivial, the temptation would vanish, 93 thecharm of fond words vanishes when one repeats them to the indifferent. In every way it would help him, to tell Irwine.
