His self-satisfaction lasted him till he was fairly out in the streets, walking side by side with Henry Lennox. Here he suddenly remembered Margaret's little look of entreaty as she urged him to stay longer, and he also recollected a few hints given him long ago by an acquaintance of Mr. Lennox's, as to his admiration of Margaret. It gave a new direction to his thoughts. "You have known Miss Hale for a long time, I believe. How do you think her looking? She strikes me as pale and ill."
"I thought her looking remarkably well. Perhaps not when I first came--now I think of. But certainly, when she grew animated, she looked as well as ever I saw her do."
"She has had a great deal to go through," said Mr. Bell.
