But I'm glad Mr.Dryfoos could come with you; I'm so glad you could all come; I knew you would enjoy the music.
Do sit down--" "No," said Christine, bluntly; "we must be going.

Mela!" she called out, "come!" The last group about Mrs.Horn looked round, but Christine advanced upon them undismayed, and took the hand Mrs.Horn promptly gave her.

"Well, I must bid you good-night." "Oh, good-night," murmured the elder lady.

"So very kind of you to come." "I've had the best kind of a time," said Mela, cordially.

"I hain't laughed so much, I don't know when." "Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it," said Mrs.Horn, in the same polite murmur she had used with Christine; but she said nothing to either sister about any future meeting.
They were apparently not troubled.
