Then Lisette rushed up the back stairs to her room, exchanged her little lace-trimmed apron for a plainer one, put on the larger cap she had brought in case of any emergency, altered her hair-in short, having done everything in her power to make herself look as unlike herself as she could, she descended; and not in the kitchen, but in the cool, large china closet adjoining it, standing before a white deal table, and surrounded by shelves of costly porcelain, she achieved several little artistic feats on compôtes and frothy creams-too thankful to be called upon to perform any function which kept her in a region where she should be neither sought after nor seen.

When at length her undertaking was completed, and the pretty glass dishes were carried off on a tray, she received the thanks of Mrs. Currie, not in words only, but in the more substantial form of "a dainty dish," fit "to set before a queen," which the good housekeeper apologised for asking her to carry herself to her sitting-room, as they were so put about by Martha being out that day. Fain would Lisette

have begged Mrs. Currie to let her stay to eat her dinner there, in the retired closet with the small wire-grated window, but as that could not be, she went and sat in Mrs. Benwell's bowery apartment, with the door wide open, listening for every sound which issued from the diningroom. When at length, from the moving of chairs and other indications, she knew that the guests and their hostess were about to pass through the hall to the drawing-room, leaving her cherry tart half finished, she jumped on to the window sill and sprang out.
