about the fancy ball ; till bursting to know how the case, so 

 long pending, had really ended, we ventured on a pumping 

 query "At what hour, Emily," said we, "does Lady For-

" I have written to prevent her calling." 



"Oh, then, you are going under other escort?" and we 

 looked slyly at F . 



" I am not going at all," said Emily. 



Here she put in our's her little white hand, and looked up 

 archly in our face, " I am not going, for I have laid aside my 

 wings /" 



" My good fellow !" said F , as he took our other hand ; 

 " you deserve to be made President of the Entomological 

 Society."
