She related in a few natural words all that had befallen Oliver since he left Mr. Brownlow's house, concluding with the assurance that his only sorrow for many months had been the not being able to meet with his former benefactor and friend. "Thank God!" said Mr. Brownlow. "This is great happiness to me; great happiness! But why not have brought him?"
Brownlow's kindly reception, than at Barbara's freezing dignity. The young lady was hotly resentful on Jock's behalf, and showed it by a stiff courtesy, elevated eyebrows, and the merest tips of her fingers. Allen took it easily.
Ellen had more cause to sigh when Michaelmas came, and for the first time taught poor Carey what money matters really meant. Throughout her married life, her only stewardship had concerned her own dress and the children's; Mrs. Brownlow's occasional plans of teaching her housekeeping had always fallen through, Janet being always her grandmamma's deputy.
"Wait at least to allow your head to take in my scheme," said Clement. "Provided it is not sitting still," said Gerald. "Far from it. Only it partly depends on my lady and mistress here- " "I guess," said Geraldine. "You know I am disposed that way by Dr. Brownlow's verdict."

Lord Ravensworth seemed to think his Royal master came the worst off which is true. He told me the Duke of Cumberland had been abusing every one at Lady Brownlow's last night, and had declared, as he has before, that he would not go away till he had us out.

Brownlow's parties, took it all as it was intended, and were not discontented. There was one young lady, however, who longed to ask a question, but durst not. Had Ralph Newton promised that he would come? Clary was sitting between the old gentleman who seemed to be so fond of Mrs. Brownlow's hand and her cousin Mary.
Right there Harold closed his lips and Bradley took another tack. "Harry, I want you to tell me something. Did you have anything to do with killing Brownlow's dog?" "No," replied Harold disdainfully. "Did you have any hand in the raid on Brownlow's orchard a week later?" "No; I was at home." "Did your folks see you during the evening?" "No; I was with Jack up in the attic, reading."

Sir Thomas expressed neither anger nor satisfaction at this arrangement, "Oh; she has gone to Mrs. Brownlow's, has she? Very well. I don't suppose it will make much difference to Ralph." "None in the least," said Patience, severely.
