ired immediately after dinner.

So she was now reading his letter! Perhaps now she was answering him!
His heart throbbed wildly at this thought. He would gladly have made
another attempt to see Ada in her own apartments, but he felt that he
owed her due reserve, and determined to have patience until the next
day.

When, on the following morning, he came out of his bed-chamber into the
ante-room, he instantly saw on the table a sealed package which bore
his address. He tore the wrapper with trembling hands and found within
his own letter and a gilt-edged book. It was an English copy of
Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." On the first page, in a
woman's delicate chirography, were the words: "A Midsummer Night's
Dream. July 3, 188--. Ada." That was all. From the servant, who
appeared at his ring, Bergmann learned the package had been left by
Mrs. Burgess' maid early that morning. Mrs. Burgess had been gone half
an hour.
