Julius Caesar — Shakspeare. When Anne re-entered the house, she was told, that her mother had been making frequent enquiries for her: therefore hastily conquer- ing the painful swelling of the throat, which accompanies unshed tears, and trying to summon up her usual composure, she pre- sented herself without delay. DOWER HOUSE. 147 " How I have waited for you !" was the im- patient greeting that met her, " and your sister too — there has been no peace since you left the house, Anne ; you have o...utstayed your time by nearly half an hour, and look fatigued and heated — but I wish no explanations — oblige me by simply listening, which will rest you sooner than any thing — sit down there, child !" and her mother pointed to the low seat where it was now her favorite whim, that Anne should always sit crouched close to her side. " Yes, sit there whilst I tell you of my inter- view with your guardian." By the throbbing of the thick veins in Lady Hester's temples, from which the jet black hair was tightly drawn, her daughter could judge how painful had been that interview; the calm, haughty forehead also told a tale of in- ward suffering in its furrowed lines.
