** Or a better figure," put In Mrs. Storks,, expanding her own very charming bust just as a swan does when scornfully con- templating another swan. '' There can be no two opinions about her good looks. But are there not * slumbering fires,' as the novelists say — ' temper,' / call It — in those down-drooped eyes ? — she knows we are talking of her at this instant, and therefore seems as meek as a dove — is there not impatience, too, In those taper fingers with which she is pointing out ' object...s of in- terest' to that exacting old lady ?" " I did not know fingers were so signifi- cant," said Evy, smiling. IN THE LADIES' DRAWING-ROOM. 159 ''What, don't you believe in chiro- mancy ? Of course I don't mean the di- vination part of it, but in the indications that the hand affords. Well, at all events, you know what sort of tempers people have who bite their nails. That girl would bite her nails to the quick if it wasn't for spoiling the look of them. She is obliged to be all dutiful submission to her relative, who * sits upon her ' dreadfully ; but she little knows she is sitting upon a volcano.
