CHAPTER XIII.
KEITH IN NEW YORK Keith and Norman Wentworth had, from time to time, kept up a correspondence, and from Dr.Templeton's Keith went to call on Norman and his mother.
Norman, unfortunately, was now absent in the West on business, but Keith saw his mother.
The Wentworth mansion was one of the largest and most dignified houses on the fine old square--a big, double mansion.

The door, with its large, fan-shaped transom and side-windows, reminded Keith somewhat of the hall door at Elphinstone, so that he had quite a feeling of old association as he tapped with the eagle knocker.

The hall was not larger than at Elphinstone, but was more solemn, and Keith had never seen such palatial drawing-rooms.

They stretched back in a long vista.

The heavy mahogany furniture was covered with the richest brocades; the hangings were of heavy crimson damask.
