CHAPTER X.
AT TIIIS ACAJifcMY.. Tii 30 tender Heart of Janie wa:> fco be still further distracted. Sabinn. refused to go up to town for the Privaio View of the Academy. "1 can't leavo my charge-," t»ho wrote, "just when ib is. most necessary that she should be driven about, ami walksd, about, and goncuaUy' looked, aftci."
Janie, in gieat distich, forth vi ith appealed to her mother. "She mu^t come, mother. Ifc is a promise. I pledffod my woitl to Walter Lindsay that she should go with tis, Sraely it cannot be that she- is so fascinated by that conte-mptiblo hoisa-jockey that ah 9 is.gomg to disappoint us all in this-way V Of cowrse, don't repeat what 1 havo jut>t said,, on fthe will think ifc necessary to .defend him, and I. don't want tO/qwurol with- Her about anybody like (had.

As- for l Sabina~Bhe 'was certainly not ' perturbed.'. Ndr did'khe seonv particularly anxious^ to «cc' the pictures. She looked at th4"cr©wd -in her gentle, bland, pleased way ;. recognising here and there a familar face jf&nd perhaps not paying as much attenfcicn'.-to her eager guide as ho ought to have do^6i,t However, she eventually yielded to. his. solicitation and fcliey began their laboriowj wound. Ho made it as^asy as possible for her—if Mrs Tremcnheere and Janie had pretty well to look oiib for themselves. Hs -took -her to all the principal pictures,. If any one stopped her and spoke to lisr., ho made no seruplo aljout dragging Ik:.- -away, and insisting upon her looking at this or that. And Sabina waa very kind to him, for she know ho was giving himself a, fjreab deal of trouble on her behalf ; and the new relationship he had established between himself and her, seemed to him a die-iaotly joyous thing — sending, as it were- flashes ot gladneos through his veins every lima she turned towards him, or spoke to him, or happened to let the sleeve of her bronze plush cloak come near his aim. Jt wa.-. % veiy pretty costume, by the way, thai th-ivofe, though it was not the single brown .homespun of his expectation ; and lie could >3E>that it wa>s admired — and thatSabina vv«° ■> ad mired —by the little covert glances that both., men and women directed towaidsheras they passed. And of com t>e he perjuiod bh soul a hundred times in quickly asserting to everything she said. Why should ho dispute hei judgment? What was hi? miserable cut-and-diied knowledge ot technique as compared with the generous appreciation of a ficsh young soul? Could hi 6 check kindness ? Would he like her 03 es to be less benignant? Wheie her sbnndant gocd natuio saw merit, what i; gii't,had he to search out defects. In &1101 1, «vhafc mattered the pictures to him in any way v hatever ! He would have made a holocaust of the whole collection had it belonged to him, if only Sabina would been : interested in the riotous blaze. And all llite, it must be remembered, was but part o: the Jiew friends: ship. "And where i* your vvn,, picture,. Mr Lin<]^i> ?" iSabina asked o£ liiin.i " OJi, that ift nothing," be answered. " But I u-i-h to see it," bhe.said. "Really it is not woriih looking at," ho pi ote-ftted. "It is a littlo thing 1 sent m meiely to get a tick Jr.- for, Varnishing Day." " But I wish to see Is/ sho. said, with mild persistence. " The water-colour re-inn .is at the other end," he pointed out ; Cor lie. did not wish Sabina to take this luclitsss little contribution as in any way lepvc-cnfative of his work. " Then you wm't t-^ce.mo to sec it ?■' Of course this lr&.a command,, and forthwith they set a boat* making their way through tho now crowded room?,. And scant indeed was the, lecognitipn hi-5 friends obtained five Jbim on that busy morning, for it sec°"i.Qd a« if there were a hundicd thousand J1 V''a*rfi he had to say to Sabina ; and that ih<c time was all, too short. And then cm- il not his duty to keep her amu=e r l.<'j«ifl interested and pleased V He was 'ierliost, in a weasiuo ; he was responsiL'a for her being entertained ; he would .vtesfc ample opportunities of talking with n MI tSiose \aiions friends and acquaintance^, after Sabina had gone away once more from, London. " Why, 3'ou peomixaktiow everyone, "'she said to him, a\ Mtey were m^ug their tlow progress t s^ugSi the galiev^sa.

' " However, as I was saying, he interposed, rather quickly, •' it is .an extraordinary sight-; aiid then, you know, they keep the lights .somewhat lowered tiding dinner— though you wouldn't think it, for the place 'is.sO biillianfc— -antil tho President 'has .proposed' tho toast, of the ' Queen's henltb x ahd'thdn, when he winds up with 'Your Royal' Highnesses, ttiy< lords, and gentleman— the Queen !' all of a sudden the .lights are put at lull blaze, and the .cflect 'is"quifo st-irtlirig.

And to think lhab such an asscmblage i* In ought together every year in England; and 'that there fchould bo no ladies to look on !" And why was he f<o miserable because theie would be no gentle-eyed spectator of the following night's banquet? At the bannuet of the previous year— the fiisb to •which he had been in\ itcd—thb subject had Tiqt q"en occurred to him. "Jfo."' he continuod, "nor do they a-lt any women-folk to the annual dinner of the Academy Club— at the Trafalgar at Cieen-v.-ich. Bub that is less to be wondered at, ior it is a kind of halt-pin ate tiliair; and there U i? good deal of jollification going on — smoking, and-ini>ing,and speech-making. Oh, and ,veiy mclty it is at the beginning of the .evening, if *,cv happon to have a scat facing the big bay window, and can watch the l'ed-saile.'l barges iloating down on the }'cllow water.

'•Theie scrivs (o be a fair amount of meny-iiuudno in the ait voild/' Sabina obfcei\ed.

The question tcciiv-d to -t*n de him. Perhaps he had made no def.nite pl'uis. Or had some wild notion lh^\a\ into his brain that, lie would fain ha\c thut dcpor.d on £abina'a wheieabouts ? '•I haidly kno^v,'' he stammeied. "I suppo.-e 30'utco will Le goirg ;ia«\v ficm Lord on, Mii-s Zembui '.' ' He hardly looked up at her.

" Your everybody cl-.e ill be away, no doubt,"' .she ruiftweied smiling, ''but my cveijbody else can't get away, unhappily. Ye 3 ; if I take a holiday now, I daresay I ehall be in London tlnough the autumn. Bub itn't it timj3 v.c ictuining to the pictures?" And he was nofc unwilling to take up his ta«k again ; for he had been 101 ming certain dark deoign^. Sabina was going dow n to Brighton by the 4.50 expiess ; }h , Ticmenheere and Janio wanted to wait to sec the people ai rive in the afternoon; and it was Janie who considei ately suggested, that if Sabina must leally leave, peihaps Mr Lindsay would be &o kind as to soe her as far as Victoria Station. Sabina protested that nothing of the sorb was necessary ; but Mr Liudsay took little heed of the protest; oiv bhe contrary, he rather hurried her through the remaining rooms in order that they should get away early. He was not sure that they would get a cab easily. The streets might be blocked. Wasn't St. Jameses Park torn up as usual. The eiuLof ifc all was that he and she togethecleft the Academy when ifc was barely four o'clock. ' . > And to be in a 'hansom with Sabina! — to be so close to her — to see her gloved hand resting on the little' iron ledge— to have charge dihereiaall travelling-bag — to be able to direct her attention to this and that — to steal an 'occasional covert glance at the pale oval of her cheeks and her soft cleateyes i Of course he. told the cabman to drive round . by, Hyde Park Corner and Orosvenor-place ;-^ind thetreesin the Green Park were showing their foliage now ; and there was a breezy light in. bhe May skies ; and the crowd -in Piccadilly and the continual string of carriages made up a picture sufficiently animated and cheerful. 1 (The, new friendship began 'so delightfully! .Sabina was with' 'him, and with him alone,; he had carge of her ; .there was none -to 'interfere, And'ihe was bo be all by herself" in London bhrotigh the r aubximn^-whon still fche might wan V^nd welcome, a f fiiend." u ■ ■ Ari'rf",then; agiin, ' ab ' Victoria Station £, little'judiciouS' bribery procured him access to the' platform j' and' when he had procured for her a seat ,in 'the PttllmancjiV arid, purchased for her'a'^sV assortment '; qf maga> zincs a;nd Xllhstra't^d 'paper's] tliey^'had nearly')*, 'of ,ah hohr in which to walk up a^nd '.clowh'.'
