"How?"
"Get an introduction."
Hoffland's lip crimped; but nodding his head—
"Yes," said he, "I think I shall be introduced, for I wish very much to be present at that Arcadian festival."
"You heard, then?"
Hoffland colored.
"N—o," he said; "but I believe a number of invitations are out—for Denis, and others;—a good fellow, Denis."
"Excellent; and I suppose, therefore, you will be at the Raleigh this evening?"
"Yes, about twelve—I have my studies to attend to," said Hoffland, laughing; "you have no idea how much the character of Rosalind has interested me lately. I think it never seized so strongly upon my attention. If ever we have any private acting, I shall certainly appear in that character!"
Mowbray smiled again.
