It ail came abopt tbrough listenin at the parlor door. Eavesdropigig * 3lways a reprehensîble proceeding, an, iwhen indulged in by a person who ha good grounds for tieieving that th person s own self forins the topicc conversation likely to be overheard -tl[e practice becornes altogther u i pardonabie. Without desiring in th least to justify the breach of good man net-s committed when I, Emma Sun ~- metford, applied my ear to the kçy hole of our best room door on a cet tain important occasion that happenei quite recently. 1 arn contrained ti think, nevertheiass, that there w& somte littie excuse for mny behavior. You sce, it was like this. Hamr Butterfield, the son of Col. Butter field, of the British armny, was desý perateiy in love with me, and 1 hope arn not overstepping the bounds o, maidenly modesty by admîtting that1 was very fond of bini in return. Harry and 1 first met at a dancE given by a mutual friend, and as. in the manner of the story books, we fell in love with each other at the start, we were not slow in finding out how te strike an acquaintanceship. Harry was an oniy son, and 1 a sole surviving daugbter, so that we had sometbîng ir common outside the affection that dÎ'kýÇ ùs together. f-Iery iived with bis fatber, a milii tary iofflcer retired on haîf pav at Ken- sington, and i resided with 'mine in a littie villa at Clapham ; but aithougb -the distance separating our two abodes was great, Harry generaîly managed tc spend three or four evenings a week on the Surrey side of the Thames. Mly papa had formcrly been in busi- ness in the Barbican, but having -made bis pile" be so,!d off his borses. *with the exception of a favorite gray mare, and bought the aforesaid villa, which benceforth became our home. Hart-y was connected witb a riding school at Knightsbridge, aiTd conse- quently knew sometbing about bot-ses, so that on the evenings he visited us he used to spend part of the time con- versing witb muy papa about matters eÉquine, while the remainder, (consider- abiy the larger portion) be passed in mny Com'pany discoursing of love. One evening, afte-r working himseif up to the requisite pitch of passion, Han-y made me a proposaI of marriage. Although 1 bad long seen it coming, of course, 1 pretended, in a woman's t-e- gular way, that bis offer had quite * taken me by surprise. and notwitb- standing the fact that I was dying to say ",yes," I assured him that 1 could flot possibly give him an answer for at least a week. As I expected, be was so pressing, however, that I consented witbout futther delay, and fell into bis arms in the usuai manner, wbile be whispered vows of eternal constancy and so on. It was ail very deiightfui, Ican assure you, and when it came to a protracted ending. and Hart-y had taken bis leave in the way common to loyers, I retired to rest the bappiest girl in Clapham. Hart-y had toid me before going that he liad some littie business with my father in the morning, and said he wodild sieze the oppoortunity thus afh I was therefôre naturally anxious as to tbe resuit of the interview', and when it began to get unduly proionged, 1 was quite on thorns. My solicitude at length became so great that I left the housekeeper's room, where I had been vainly eqldeavoring to ix my at- tention on some preserves that requit-- ed trying 'down, and stole, on tiptoe aiong the passage leading to the parlor whéere my father and Hart-y were en- gaed. *The door was just ajar, and without really thinking that I was indulging in an unladylike action, 1 bent my head forward and listened. Hart-y was talk-* "n.-Site enjoys pretty good healt.h, I suppose? he asked, inquirinzly. "Capital, " was my father's answer. ',Never bail an hour's iilness since the day sbe was born." It wa.s kind of papa to say tbis, but ,,of course bis statement was flot- liter- 'al correct. Everybody has ilness,.a~ some tme or other in their .iesauci 1 was no exception to the rule.
