CHAPTER XIII.
The very air of Gwen’s two
rooms, the bed room and the
dressing room off it, shimmered
with excitement. It glowed in
the soft light )f the innumerable
wax candles with which Mary
had studded the tables, it hung
in the rose pink curtains, it
shone in the leaping blue flame
of the tire, it was everywhere
and most inconveniently so in
the new lady’s maid, a creature
of sentiment, who was putting
the finishing touches on her
young mistress’ bodice, while
Mary was trotting around rest
lessly, disturbed in every indi
vidual hair of her head, casting
rapt glances at G wen and furtive
ores at the door.
At the sound of a footstep on
the stairs she gave a sudden
start and her face lighted, but
it shaded as suddenly.
“Only Mrs. Fellowes!’’ she
murmured, and she showed her
in with some grimness
Mrs. Fellowes stopped on the
threshold and took in Gwen
leisurely, then went over and
kissed her.
“Gwen, love, you are beauti
ful, I never knew it before.’’
Gwen looked up at the glass
and laughed.
“I am beautiful,” she said,
“and I never knew it before.”
Then she stood up and shook
down the soft gleaming folds
of her tulle silk and straightened
herself.
It was her first long dress,
and it added two inches to her
height.
“Look, I am a new creature,
I am changed, I am afraid of
nothing! I feel like a knight-
errant setting forth on his quest,
his was glory, mine —” she
paused.
“What’s yours?” said Mrs.
Fellowes smiling.
“Mine? Mine is glory too.”
She paused again and a sud
den trouble leaped into her
face.
“But it is due to me, see. Why
not?” And her great eyes flash
ed. “ ‘1 will attain’ like Para
celcus.”
She laughed again but her
mirth had a jar in it.
“He went the wrong way
about it,’’remarked Mrs. Fel
lowes, “take care you don’t do
the same!”
“He was a fraud to begin
with, I’m not, neither in brain
nor body.”
Mrs. Fellowes looked at her.
“The outside of you in flaw
less enough, and goodness
knows! you are all there as far
as brain goes. But I’m not so
sure as to the inside of you; an
inch or so to the left of that
star, I believe you are pefectly
empty.”
“That’s empty of course,
except for the bits of you and
the rector it holds there’s been
nothing to fill it.”
“A thing must have a capa
city for holding before it can
hold, my child, and original
capacity dwindles from disuse.
Atrophy is the word in your
jargon isn’t it?”
“Oh, all glory doesn’t come
through that mawkish muscle!
I have lived for ninteen years
without anything to try the
holding capacity of mine, and I
can go on for a while yet and
get my glory through other
channels.”
“No, you can’t, a woman’s
crown of glory comes through
her heart or isn’t worth the
wearing, her heart leads her
reason, and is often the surer
guide into the bargain.”
“Why do you speak like this?”
said the girl, flushing, and flash-
ingout a white arm towards her,
“on coming out night? It isn’t
fair of you!”
“You brought it on yourself
Gwen, you’re setting out on a
wrong track. L*t yourself go,
be nataral and strive after—no
thing. All good will come to
you by Divine right.
A sudden chill ran down Mrs.
Fellowes’ back, and a horrid
little song began to croon in her
ears, “Through much tribula
tion” were '.he words to it, and
it kept on by fits all that even
ing.
“Turn around again and let
me look at you, dear. Ah, I
feel like it is the coming-out-
night of my own child!”
There was a quick, short
catch in her voice. Kiss me,
Gwen, and, darling don’t think
of victory, there’s olood in the
very thought! The head and
front of a woman’s life is love,
God’s,and mother’s,and man’s!”
“You’ve forgotten your audi
ence,” said Gwen sarcastically,
“I know nothing of the two
first, the third will come, I
suppose,in time—by all accounts
it comes always to the beauti
ful—but I shall not know what
on earth to do when it arrives,
and, oh! I don’t want it! I
want to ‘live at full pitfch,’ I
couldn’t manage that with my
feet clogged with hooey!”
“You want to be loved, m;
dear, to be loved, loved, lov.
and when you are, you,11 find
out what an arrant little goose
you are making of yourself.”
The girl turned suddenly up
on her and gave her one of her
most volcanic hugs. When Mrs.
Fellowes got out of it, panting,
she set to putting Gwen’s dress
in order with sundry soft touch
es to neck and arms.
“I do love nice soft girlish
flesh,” she said, with a little
laugh, “Oh, how I do wish to
goodness that John wasn’t a
parson this night of all others!
I want dreadfully to see you
there, but he can’t come, it’s
impossible, you know Sam Tidd
is dying and even for you I
couldn’t go without him!”
“Mrs. Fellowes!” she cried
sweeping round, “are you not
coming? This is, oh, this is
awful! I never looked at your
dress, I was so taken up with
my own. Oh, to go alone with
Lady Mary, and to my first
ball!”
Her face was furious, and Mrs.
Fellowes could have cried. “I
did not tell you at first, I was
so astonished at your brilliant
completeness. I am sorry."
Gwen stamped.
“It is atrocious, abominable!
To go alone with no one in the
room to care a rap how I look!
You can’t help it, I know, but
oh, you must see the beastliness
of the whole thing.”
“The carriage is coming, dar
ling, come down to your moth
er.”
“I? Certainly not! Mary and
Simpson!” she called.
“There, isn’t it lovely?” said
Gwen as Simpson wrapped her
in her cloak. “I do love the
sheeny changes in white plush!
Mrs. Fellowes, you will come
down with me, won’t you? I
hardly know Lady Mary.”
When they came to the foot
of the stairs Mary cameforward
and said in a quick, frightened
tone:
“Miss Gwen, God bless you,
dear! They .will be proud of
you! The room is well lighted,
shall I open the door. Miss?”
“Did they ask for me?” de
manded Gwen. She had let her
cloak drop and was turning
slowly round, that the old wo
man might have a good view of
her.
“Ask, Miss!”—She broke off.
“I know they did not, and
they don’t want me either, and
Mrs. Fellowes isn’t coming—did
you know that? I am glad you
like me, Mary!”
She stooped fuddenly, seeing
a tear on Mary’s cheek, and
kissed it into a wet smudge on
the bed of wrinkles, then she
turned and kissed Mrs. Fellow
es lightly, and walked down
the great hall like a young
queen setting out on a triump
hal progress.
When Gwen dropped her
cloak and displayed herself for
Mary’s admiration, she had two
spectators she certainly never
bargained for.
A wave of universal excite
ment had somehow reached Mr.
and Mrs. Waring in their learn
ed retirement, probably carried
there by Mary’s frequent ap
pearances for trivial causes,—
she dared not make any definite
suggestion, for fear of Gwen’s
most inexorable wrath.
“My love,” said Mr. Waring
at last “sometking unusual
seems to be the matter!”
Mrs. Waring’s brows knitted
as usual, then gradually clear
ed.
“Yes, I really believe this is
the occasion of Gwen’s first ball.
I remember now Ladr Mary
mentioning something about it,
and—ah yes, don’t you rememb
er you gave Mrs. Fellowes a
check for some dresses and other
things to do with balls? Ah,
nine o’clock, is it really? And
I fancy I hear a carriage—
didn’t Lady Mary say she would
come for her? I think, dear,”
she said, “I think, dear, I
should like to see Gwen.”
“And I too,” said Mr. War
ing, standing up with quiet ea
gerness, “shall we go to her
room? I suppose we might do
so,” he added, half fearfully.
It certainly did seem rather a
liberty on their part.
“Oh yes, I think that perhaps
she might like it.”
So they opened the door and
were just about to. set forth
when the sig v t of her in shim
mering soft waves of silk and
tulle, her round column of a
neck poised like that of an em
press, and her arms thrown out
gracefully that Mary might see
the whole of her, arrested the
two and held them in a silent
spell, standing hand in hand on
tne threshold. Then, hand in
band ftill, they went back into
the library as if in a dream, and
over to the deep embrasured
window that opened on the car
riage drive, and listened to the
very last sound of Lady Mary’s
wheels. When they came back
to the fire there waa a tear in
Mrs. Waring’s eye. and her hus
band felt horrid—just as if ke
had lost a good thought.
