In
spite
of
this
affliction
,
she
looked
unusually
gay
and
graceful
as
she
glided
away
.
She
seldom
ran
—
it
did
not
suit
her
style
,
she
thought
,
for
being
tall
,
the
stately
and
Junoesque
was
more
appropriate
than
the
sportive
or
piquante
.
She
walked
up
and
down
the
long
saloon
while
waiting
for
Laurie
,
and
once
arranged
herself
under
the
chandelier
,
which
had
a
good
effect
upon
her
hair
,
then
she
thought
better
of
it
,
and
went
away
to
the
other
end
of
the
room
,
as
if
ashamed
of
the
girlish
desire
to
have
the
first
view
a
propitious
one
.
It
so
happened
that
she
could
not
have
done
a
better
thing
,
for
Laurie
came
in
so
quietly
she
did
not
hear
him
,
and
as
she
stood
at
the
distant
window
,
with
her
head
half
turned
and
one
hand
gathering
up
her
dress
,
the
slender
,
white
figure
against
the
red
curtains
was
as
effective
as
a
well
-
placed
statue
.
"
Good
evening
,
Diana
!
"
said
Laurie
,
with
the
look
of
satisfaction
she
liked
to
see
in
his
eyes
when
they
rested
on
her
.
"
Good
evening
,
Apollo
!
"
she
answered
,
smiling
back
at
him
,
for
he
too
looked
unusually
debonair
,
and
the
thought
of
entering
the
ballroom
on
the
arm
of
such
a
personable
man
caused
Amy
to
pity
the
four
plain
Misses
Davis
from
the
bottom
of
her
heart
.

"
Here
are
your
flowers
.
I
arranged
them
myself
,
remembering
that
you
didn
’
t
like
what
Hannah
calls
a
‘
sot
-
bookay
’
,
"
said
Laurie
,
handing
her
a
delicate
nosegay
,
in
a
holder
that
she
had
long
coveted
as
she
daily
passed
it
in
Cardiglia
’
s
window
.
"
How
kind
you
are
!
"
she
exclaimed
gratefully
.
"
If
I
’
d
known
you
were
coming
I
’
d
have
had
something
ready
for
you
today
,
though
not
as
pretty
as
this
,
I
’
m
afraid
.
"
"
Thank
you
.
It
isn
’
t
what
it
should
be
,
but
you
have
improved
it
,
"
he
added
,
as
she
snapped
the
silver
bracelet
on
her
wrist
.
"
Please
don

"
I
thought
you
liked
that
sort
of
thing
.
"
"
Not
from
you
,
it
doesn
’
t
sound
natural
,
and
I
like
your
old
bluntness
better
.
"
"
I
’
m
glad
of
it
,
"
he
answered
,
with
a
look
of
relief
,
then
buttoned
her
gloves
for
her
,
and
asked
if
his
tie
was
straight
,
just
as
he
used
to
do
when
they
went
to
parties
together
at
home
.
