'Yes—and an unwelcome sight.'
'Indifferent rather.'

'A young man from Seaton,' answered Winefred, in a tone of indifference; 'on that account it pleases him to address me.'
'Not on that account,' said Jack, 'but because I am commissioned to you with a letter from Mrs. Jose.'

'I thank you,' she said in a tone of constraint. 'Are you in Bath for long?'
'No; I return home to-morrow.'
'Home! I did not know that you possessed one.'
