“Haverleigh was standing with his back to the fire, looking straight at
the door, when Fanny came in, a flush on her cheek, but with a very
modest expression in her blue eyes, which never glanced at Haverleigh
but once. But in that glance they saw him perfectly from his head to his
feet, and knew him for the same haughty Englishman who had so ignored
Anna’s family in Millfield. Hating Haverleigh as he did, it was
impossible for Fred not to show something of it, and there was a sudden
gleam, a kindling, in his eyes, which attracted Haverleigh’s notice, and
made him look more curiously after the supposed girl than he would
otherwise have done. But there was not a shadow of suspicion in his mind
as to the personality of the stranger, and when she was gone for the
shawl he said, carelessly:
“‘And so that is the treasure? Nice, tidy-looking girl enough, but I
should say she had a temper, judging from her eyes; looks a little like
somebody I have seen.’
“Fanny had returned with the shawl by this time and so the conversation
regarding her ceased, and Haverleigh thought and said no more of her,
although she appeared several times during the evening in answer to her
mistress, who wanted an unusual amount of waiting upon, it seemed to
Haverleigh.
“‘She is certainly growing very nervous and fidgety, and I don’t much
envy that new girl her post as my lady’s maid,’ he said to himself, and
that was about all the thought he gave to Fanny Shader, whom for several
days he saw every time he called upon Eugenie.
