"Dolly, how glad I am to see you!" "I am glad, too," said Dolly, faintly smiling, and trying by the expression of Anna's face to find out whether she knew.

" Most likely she knows," she thought, noticing the sympathy in Anna's face.

" Well, come along, I'll take you to your room," she went on, trying to defer as long as possible the moment of confidences.

"Is this Grisha? Heavens, how he's grown!" said Anna; and kissing him, never taking her eyes off Dolly, she stood still and flushed a little.
