A SCHOOL BOARD STORY. BY MARIANNE FARNINGHAM. CHAPTER I.-IMPORTANT BUSINESS. THE lamps were lighted and the curtains drawn when Bertha Knighton took her seat at the piano, intending to spend an hour in the way which was most pleasant to her. But, she turned one moment from the copy of Israel in Egypt which lay open before her to glance at the face of the man who stood by her side. It was a handsome, and in some sense a good, face, and it always looked its best when Bertha's eyes were on it. Lionel Winterset knew his own faults, and unfortunately loved them too; but he also knew that if any one could cure him of them, it would be the girl who lifted her clear, brave eyes to his. "Well, Bertie ?" "I was thinking that this is the very perfection of a birthday evening." "You and I spending it together ?" "You and I together, and all the rest of the world outside." "And yet, but for my wish, you would have had a deputation from that outside world waiting upon you to-night." "Yes, I should have had; for I like all my friends with me sometimes, and birthdays are gala days. But I am glad now that we elected to spend it alone." "It is very strange though that your aunt should have been so obliging as to have an engagement." |
