'How can you cringe so to that creature ?' 'I consider it a masterpiece of diplomacy,' observed Mr.Tudor, as I handed it for his inspection.

'Civil words pay best in the long-run; and you know it was very naughty to run away, Miss Jocelyn.' 'It was nothing of the kind,' returned Jill rebelliously.

'And I would do it again to-morrow.

I am more than sixteen; I am not a child now, and I have a right to come and see Ursula if I like.' And Jill threw back her head, and the colour came into her face, and she looked so handsome that I was not surprised to see Mr.Tudor regard her attentively.

I never saw a face so capable of varying expression as Jill's.
Jill declared she was glad when Mr.Tudor was gone.
