"Why, yes," said Mr. Malt, "he offered himself as a count you see, and
Emmeline seemed to think she'd like to have one, so I closed with him.
There isn't anything likely to come of it for three or four years, but
he's willing to wait, and she's got to grow."
I expressed my felicitations, and Mr. Malt added somewhat regretfully
that it would have been better if he'd had more in his clothes, but that
was what you had to expect with counts; as a rule they didn't seem to
have what you might call any money use for pockets. In the meantime
they were taking him home to educate him in the duties of American
citizenship. Emmeline put it to me briefly, "I'm not any Daisy Miller,"
she said, "and I prefer to live out of Rome."
Once a year the present Lady Mafferton invites Mrs. Portheris to tea,
and I know they discuss my theory of engagements in a critical spirit.
We have never seen either Miss Nancy or Miss Cora Bingham again, and I
should have forgotten the names of Mr. Pabbley and Mr. Hinkson by this
time if I had not written them down in earlier chapters. Arthur and I
have not yet made up our minds to another visit to England. We have
several friends there, however, whom we appreciate exceedingly, in
spite, as we often say to one another, of their absurd and deplorable
accent.
THE END.
D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
Miss F.F. Montr�sor's Books. Uniform Edition. Each,
16MO, Cloth.
_AT THE CROSS-ROADS._ $1.50.
"Miss Montr�sor has the skill in writing of Olive Schreiner and Miss
Harraden, added to the fullness of knowledge of life which is a chief
factor in the success of George Eliot and Mrs. Humphry Ward.... There is
as much strength in this book as in a dozen ordinary successful
novels."--_London Literary World._
"I commend it to all my readers who like a strong, cheerful, beautiful
story. It is one of the truly notable books of the season."--_Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune._
_FALSE COIN OR TRUE?_ $1.25.
"One of the few true novels of the day.... It is powerful, and touched
with a delicate insight and strong impressions of life and character....
The author's theme is original, her treatment artistic, and the book is
remarkable for its unflagging interest."--_Philadelphia Record._
"The tale never flags in interest, and once taken up will not be laid
down until the last page is finished."--_Boston Budget._
"A well-written novel, with well-depicted characters and well-chosen
scenes."--_Chicago News._
"A sweet, tender, pure, and lovely story."--_Buffalo Commercial._
_THE ONE WHO LOOKED ON._ $1.25.
"A tale quite unusual, entirely unlike any other, full of a strange
power and realism, and touched with a fine humor."--_London World._
"One of the most remarkable and powerful of the year's contributions,
worthy to stand with Ian Maclaren's."--_British Weekly._
"One of the rare books which can be read with great pleasure and
recommended without reservation. It is fresh, pure, sweet, and pathetic,
with a pathos which is perfectly wholesome."--_St. Paul Globe._
"The story is an intensely human one and it is delightfully told.... The
author shows a marvelous keenness in character analysis, and a marked
ingenuity in the development of her story."--_Boston Advertiser._
