When they arrived at Wyllys-Roof, there was no one there to give them any later information; Mammy Sarah, the nurse, knew no more than themselves; she had heard the Broadlawn story, after having seen young de Vaux leave the house with Miss Agnes, when they first went to the Hubbards'. Hazlehurst had not accompanied his friend, for he had seen Mr.
It was a day of movement at Wyllys-Roof; after the arrival of the party from Philadelphia there were constant communications with their neighbours at Broadlawn, as the long talked of cruise of the Petrel had been only postponed for Harry's return, and young de Vaux was now all impatience to be off.
Non sappiamo, in verita!" We really don't know! "I understand, Miss Wyllys, that your friend, Mr. Stryker, calls it the 'cafe de mille colonnes," said Mrs. Creighton. "Does Mrs. Creighton's friend, Mr. Stryker, treat it so disrespectfully? Mr. de Vaux has given it a very good name, I think. It is Broadlawn now; last year it was Colonnade Manor." "And, pray, what did Mr.
I have just been over to look at the Petrel, and everything is ready. De Vaux has only been waiting for me the rest of the party has been collected for some days. I found Smith the conchologist, and Stryker, at Broadlawn." "Has your course been finally settled?" asked Ellsworth. "Yes; we are to circumnavigate Long-Island."
Stanley accompanied him, on her way to Greatwood. " But by the stealth Of our own vanity, we're left so poor."

Wyllys-Roof is a dangerous place, one always stays here too long; but I cannot positively afford more than a day or two at present; I have promised to be in town on Thursday." Elinor expressed her regrets very hospitably; and they were soon after summoned to dinner. In the evening, Hubert de Vaux and the gentlemen from Broadlawn, engaged for the cruise, walked in.
"Yes; she always talks and laughs a great deal," replied Mary Van Alstyne. "They are no longer your neighbours, I understand, sir." "No; Mr. Taylor sold Colonnade Manor this spring; De Vaux has purchased it, and changed the name of the place. It is now to be called Broadlawn, which is certainly a great improvement." "And where does Mr. Taylor's family pass the summer?"
Ellsworth walked over to Broadlawn, to invite Bob de Vaux, a boy of sixteen, to be her especial escort. He thought this a very clever manoeuvre of his own. While these arrangements were going on, and the Taylors were taking some refreshment, Mr. Taylor had found time to express his regrets at the result of the law-suit.
