The ladies left the room, and adjourned to the parlour, which was illamined by an ember light from the shaded lamps.
She seated herself upon an ottoman between a Miss Madeley, and the wife of a vicar of an adjoining parish. Neither addressed a ward to ber; Miss Madeley tarned her back and fell into rapid conversation with another lady across a stretch of carpet.

Gledig had beard that Christine was engaged to the Captain, and concluded that the topic would accordingly be acceptable to his partner. He had not perceived what bad bean noticed by every woman present, that she no longer wore her engagement ring.
Mrs. Fatheringay, who sat on the further side of young Gleig, also Miss Quillim, the lady oppo, site, were drinking in every word.
