CHAPTER VII.
Mr.Burke's Speeches Lucy Morris had been told by Lady Fawn that,--in point of fact that, being a governess, she ought to give over falling in love with Frank Greystock, and she had not liked it.

Lady Fawn no doubt had used words less abrupt,--had probably used but few words, and had expressed her meaning chiefly by little winks, and shakings of her head, and small gestures of her hands, and had ended by a kiss,--in all of which she had intended to mingle mercy with justice, and had, in truth, been full of love.

Nevertheless, Lucy had not liked it.

No girl likes to be warned against falling in love, whether the warning be needed or not needed.

In this case Lucy knew very well that the caution was too late.
