I will love you truly.' Half melting, Juliana pressed her hand.
'We are friends ?' said Rose.

'Good-bye'; and her countenance lighted, and she moved away, so changed by her happiness! Juliana was jealous of a love strong as she deemed her own to overcome obstacles.

She called to her: 'Rose! Rose, you will not take advantage of what I have told you, and repeat it to any one ?' Instantly Rose turned with a glance of full contempt over her shoulder.
'To whom ?' she asked.
'To any one.' 'To him?
He would not love me long if I did!' Juliana burst into fresh tears, but Rose walked into the sunbeams and the circle of the music.
Mounting Olympus, she inquired whether Ferdinand was within hail, as they were pledged to dance the first dance together.

A few hints were given, and then Rose learnt that Ferdinand had been dismissed.
'And where is he ?' she cried with her accustomed impetuosity.

'Mama!--of course you did not accuse him--but, Mama! could you possibly let him go with the suspicion that you thought him guilty of writing an anonymous letter ?' 'Not at all,' Lady Jocelyn replied.
