Ratherunwillingly Hilda rose and was soon floating through the ballroom in Wentworth‘s strong arms, while the plaintive strain of the **Sweethearts " waltz was rising and falling on the air. Both were excellent dancers, and, much as she disliked Nigel, Hilda could not but enjo{.her waltz, and they danced till the last bar died away gently on the air. _ **Poor dear things !" said Maria to Mr. Wentworth, as they mounted the terrace steps, ‘‘ian‘t it quite too celightful to see them enjoying themselves?â€"so Arcadian, you know !

And now the barouches and landaus of the county magnates began to roll through the park gates and along the avenue to the great hall doors, where Hilda, looking love, liee than ever in her white satin gown adorned with costly luce and sprays of stephanotis, her fatner‘s birthday gift of opals and diamonds gleaming among her wolden tresses and clasping her white throat and arms stood by the side of the proud and happy Squire to receive the guests, â€" Then came the officers‘ drag from Windsor and the Abbey carriages which had gone to meet the special train conveyâ€" ing Hilda‘s London friends, and soon the flowerâ€"beâ€" decked hall was filled with a throng of beautifully dressed women and highbred men, and the strains of the exquisite band floated through the air, while A distinguished company of * the county people" wers gathered upon the terrace, flirting, drinking tea and languidly watchâ€" 10g a number of the village lada and lasses, who were dancing a wonderful set of counâ€" try dances, which seemed to have no end, and which evidently required a good deal of exertion, :o judge by the flushed counâ€" tenances of the girls, and the moist and persgiring aspect of their swains. **Poor dear things !" said Maria to Mr. Wentworth, as they mounted the terrace steps, ‘‘ian‘t it quite too celightful to see needs it after her exertions."

It was the eve of Hilda Deloraine‘s marriage. . The next morning would see her plight her vows to Roger Montacute, and in all thekingdom there was no hapâ€" pier woman that day than Mark Deloraine‘s daughter. . The course of her love had run upon velvet. Both the squire and Mrs. Palmer had been delighted at the engageâ€" ment. . Roger‘s framk, manly, pleasant disposition had long endeared him to Delâ€" oraine, and Mrs. Palmer was rejoiced that her nephew should marry so wealthy and beautiful a girl as Hilda, and one, too, whose birth and lineage were irreproachâ€" able. _ Mrs, Palmer would never have tolerated a mesalliance for that beloved nephew. â€" Hilda had never breathed a word. to her father concerning the painful scene which had taken place between herself and Mr, Wentworth on the night of her birthâ€" day ball. _ She knew how greatly her father esteemed and trusted Nige!, and she could not bear to be the cause of sepaâ€" rating him from his friend. Sbe had, therefore, on the rare occasions of Wentâ€" worth‘s visits to the Abbey, met him as if nothing had happened to disturb the serenity of their intercourse, though she had carefully avoided ever being left alone with him, as she was fearfal lest he should again urge his suit upon her. He had arrived ut the Abbey on the preceding evening, bringing with him the marriage settlements, which wereto be signed â€"that evening by the bride and bridegroom. Several of the guests who were to attend the marriage were staying at the Temple with Mrs. Palmer ; others were expected to arrive at the Abbey in time for dinner, so that Hilda knew, as she took ber way across the park with Maria, that this would in all probability be the last confiâ€" dential chat she would have with her old friend. | CHAPTER V, CYPRUS OR ORANGE BLOSSOMS ?
