"We were speaking of Miss Octavia Bassett." Her ladyship glanced around the room, as if a new idea had occurred to her, and said,-- "Where _is_ Miss Octavia Bassett?" Here it must be confessed that Lucia faltered. "She is on the terrace with Mr. Barold." "She is on"-- Her ladyship stopped short in the middle of her sentence. This was too much for her. She left Lucia, and crossed the room to Miss Belinda. "Belinda," she said, in an awful undertone, "your niece is out upon the terrace with Mr. Barold. Perhaps it would be as well for you to intimate to her that in England it is not customary--that--Belinda, go and bring her in." Miss Belinda arose, actually looking pale. She had been making such strenuous efforts to converse with Miss Pilcher and Mrs. Burnham, that she had been betrayed into forgetting her charge.
