“Then something is the matter?”

“If you want to know,” said Helen, with haughtiness, “in the hall, just now—that is—I—I overheard Mr. Dean say something about Emanuel Prockter’s singing which I consider very improper.”

“But we all——”

“I’m going out into the garden,” said Helen.

“A pretty how-d’ye-do!” James muttered inaudibly to himself as he meandered to and fro in the hall, observing the manners and customs of Hillport society. Another couple were now occupying the privacy of the seat at the end of the side-hall, and James noticed that the heads of this couple had precisely the same relative positions as the heads of the previous couple. “Bless us!” he murmured, apropos of the couple, who, seeing in him a spy, rose and fled. Then he resumed his silent soliloquy. “A pretty how-d’ye-do! The chit’s as fixed on that there Emanuel Prockter as ever a chit could be!” And yet James had caught the winking with Jos Swetnam during the song! As an enigma, Helen grew darker and darker to him. He was almost ready to forswear his former belief, and to assert positively that Helen had no sense whatever.
