Never yet has there blown wind so cold and she has experienced the tephyrs of nineteen English springs that Jet Conyngham would not sooner have braved its Inclemency than stay, inactive, within doors ; for the girl is hereditarlly restless, has a temperament adapted to any ;ido- ing Ife, rather than to gne of con vemplation, or crewel-work, But Mr, Conyngham keeps her fast prisoner today. Would she wear blue specta- cles, respirator, or a furred cloak, there might be hops for her. As she ls contumacious on these points, .she must remain captive, thinking over a statistic, just gathered from her guide-book,' as to the number of- days on which the mistral. prevails throughout the winter, and pecu- lating as to whether xistence will be more cheerful looked at through the double windows of southern lio- tols than she-and Cora used to find it among mud, and mildness, and freedom, df the Devonshire lanes.
