noticed
as
he
turned
away
that
the
man
behind
the
partition,
who
had

There
was
no
opportunity
of
calling
Fanny
to
order
after
dinner,
for
she
went
off
on
her
progress
to
all
the
seven
cribs,
and
was
only
just
returning
from
them
when
the
gentlemen
came
in,
and
then
she
made
room
for
the
younger
beside
her
on
the
sofa,
saying, "
Now,
Alick,
I
do
so
want
to
hear
about
poor,
dear
little
Bessie;"
and
they
began
so
low
and
confidentially,
that
Rachel
wondered
if
her
alarms
wore
to
be
transfered
from
the
bearded
colonel
to
the
dapper
boy,
or
if,
in
very
truth,
she
must
deem
poor
Fanny
a
general
coquette.
