She turned quickly, and I saw no more, but I did not think she had changed colour.
I began to be deeply interested in ascertaining whether she had any preference for one or the other of the two young men.

Kildare's visit in the morning--though he had said very little--had given me a new impression of the man, and I felt that he was no contemptible rival.

I saw from the little incident I had just witnessed that he neglected no opportunity of being with Miss Westonhaugh, and that he had the patience to wait and the boldness to find her in a crowd.

I had seen very little of her myself; but I had been amply satisfied that Isaacs was capable of interesting her in a _tete-a-tete_ conversation.

"The talker has the best chance, if he is bold enough," I said to myself; but I was not satisfied, and I resolved that if I could manage it Isaacs should have another chance that very evening after the dinner.
